1st calendar year Caspian Gull at the fishing boats briefly this morning

This mornings sea watch was virtually a repeat of the lat few days, lots of Gannets, Sandwich Terns and Auks, with a bonus of a juvenile Pomarine Skua for those who got up early, sadly I didn't. Full details can be seen at https://www.trektellen.nl/count/view/2389/20201026

The Red-backed Shrike still at St Marys Bay today

Sadly this chap appears to have departed , so no pictures of it posing in the sunshine.

The adult and 2 juvenile Dark-bellied Brent Geese that have been frequenting the green at Littlestone 

Unusual sight of a Golden Plover on the beach at Littlestone

The 2 Glossy Ibis and 3+ Cattle Egrets, along with several Great White Egrets are still to be found around Cooks pool, along with usual birds around the reserve. The islands on the ARC are now fast disappearing so little of note seen here.
