Mid morning Alan Pavey and Steve Message found a Dusky Warbler at the ARC, in the same place that Halimodendri Lesser Whitethroat was photographed on Tuesday. While I was looking for the Lesser Whitethroat I got a glimpse of Warbler that rang alarm bells but it disappeared and I didn't think of it again as I was after the Lesser Whitethroat, when I saw Steves WhatsApp message I could have kicked myself.
Dusky Warbler at the ARC this afternoon
The Black-throated Diver is still on the ARC, also a couple of Goldeneye. In the field in front my house there were at least 127 Greater White-fronted Geese, butI haven't seen the Whooper Swans for the last 2 days, they presumably have relocated back to Hooks Wall.
At Scotney the Scaup is still on the main lake and the Long-tailed Duck is on the lake to the east of the causeway.
