Friday 17/01/2020

Apart from Kittiwakes and Auks very little was seen on this mornings sea watch. Its probably the first time I can remember only seeing just a single Gannet in a 90 minute sea watch at Dungeness.
07:45-09:15 from the sea watch hide with AJG:
Common Scoter: 3W
Red-throated Diver: 11W    5E
Great-crested Grebe: 4W
Gannet: 1E
Cormorant: present n/c
Kittiwake: 571W
Guillemot: 418W    74E
Razorbill: 40W   4E
Auk sp: 772W        12E
Grey Seal: 1
Most of the rest of the day was taken up with domestic stuff, judging by reports from other locals I didn't miss much.
11 years ago today I photographed this King Eider at Pett, I day dream of seeing another flying past Dungeness on a sea watch.
