Corn Bunting in full voice at Caldecott Lane this morning
A drive along Caldecott Lane this morning found no sign of any of yesterdays Cattle Egrets, a singing Corn bunting was nice compensation.
3 Long-tailed Ducks were at the Sussex end of Scotney.
The Patch was once again very quiet, not much more than a few bubbles coming up, so very few Gulls and none of note that I could find. Offshore a few Auks and Red-throated divers, Kittiwakes and Gannets were tooing and froing.
Female Bearded Tit at Hookers
A walk out to and around Hookers noted a party of 54 Curlew, c30 Reed Buntings, the usual Great White, Little Egrets, Lapwing, Golden Plover, Wigeon and couple of Bearded Tits, including a rather cute female. Just as cute were the Long-tailed Tits Goldcrest and Firecrest, the latter 2 refused to pose for me. A couple each of Marsh Harrier and Common Buzzard were seen as well as Sparrowhawk and Kestrel.

At the Egret roost at the ARC 15 Great White Egrets and 16 Little Egrets roosted but no Cattle Egrets.
