Late afternoon push!

 Mediterranean Gulls passing the sea watch hide this morning

Inevitably a much slower passage today, though a movement of Terns and Brent Geese this afternoon boosted the numbers. As there is a dearth of migrant land birds on the peninsular at the moment, most of my time is spent staring out to sea.

Herring Gull A5UX a Mallydams ringed bird regularly seen at Dungeness

The Common Crane is still feeding in its favoured field, the 3 Cattle Egrets are becoming more mobile and up to 4 Great White Egrets are still around. 3 Garganey were at Dengemarsh per PT, also it seems the Glossy Ibis is still to be seen around the small pools at Camber.
