 First time I've seen Herring Gull Y3VT   
A couple of hours wandering around the fishing boats area found a couple NTRG Herring Gulls, 2 Skylarks and a Sandwich Tern of note of shore.
 I know they are feral but they are smart little Geese and there was nothing else at Scotney to look at.
Common Gull from Dennis's
Late afternoon only a few Gulls came into roost but they did include a Normandy rung GBBG 60V and a Norwegian GBBG JK158.
The Smew, Black-necked Grebe and 3 Cattle egrets were all still present today per CT, the Whooper Swans were still viewable from Cockles Bridge.
