As I left the the beach with SM around 09.30 he spotted a Black Kite going inland over South View, DB was in his garden so had superb views, DW saw it from The Moat, JD saw it from the Long Pits, OL saw it at New Romney and CP saw it over St Marys Bay but not reported since. I believe DW got some images so hopefully he will put them on the DBO web site this evening.
Black-headed Gull TJVV still around the beach today
Cattle Egret at hay field 1
A walk around the reserve was pleasant enough in the sunshine, apart from a single Cattle Egret in the hay fields, the Glossy Ibis at Boulderwall, several Great White Egrets and a few Bearded Tits and squealing Water Rails little else was seen.
1 of the 2 1w Caspian Gulls that came into roost on Burrowes this evening.
Brambling at South View yesterday, many thanks to Dave Bunney for the access and call
