At Dengemarsh the Common Crane could be seen distantly as could the 2 Cattle Egrets, a Great White Egret and little Egret, also a booming Bittern, the highlight though was my first Cuckoo of the spring.
At Camber I could not find the Glossy Ibis, but I did meet the local farmer who showed me an image on his phone of a Black Winged Stilt that was taken yesterday at the pools.
The injured Avocet still alive at Scotney today
Tree Sparrows prospecting at Scotney Farm
A walk around the back of Scotney found of note a Greenshank, 3 Whimbrel, 12 Redshank, 14 Avocet, 16 Dunlin and a Little Ringed Plover. Around the fields 30+ Mediterranean Gulls, 15+ Yellow Wagtails, 8 Corn Buntings and the usual feral Geese.
