Little Egrets coming in off the sea early morning
Great White Egret at the ARC
The Black-winged Stilt is still present at the ARC. Unfortunately it spends most of its time in front of Hanson hide to which there is no access. It can be seen distantly from the causeway, but be careful of the traffic, sometimes when a raptor comes through it can be seen in flight from just past the screen hide.
Juvenile Long-tailed Tit that was with a flock of Tits and wWarblers moving through the Sallows on the causeway between the New Diggings and Burrowes. 2 Common Sandpipers and a black-tailed Godwit were on Burrowes, along with the usual Common Terns, Gulls and wildfowl.

Just as well that the moths have been relatively interesting, because the birds have been very poor.
A5UX Herring Gull a regular bird at the fishing boats this afternoon
Maple Prominent, very scarce on the peninsular, only my second one.
Brown form of Agapetha zoegana my first, of this form
Dotted Fan-foot, less than annual in my trap
Brown Line Bright Eye, less than annual in my trap but relatively common on the shingle
2 more Sussex Emeralds in the trap this morning, a good year for them.
