1 of the 2 Iceland Gulls at The Patch this morning
Part of the flock of 227 Russian White-fronted Geese in the fields at Cockle Bridge this morning. 304 were recorded at Dengemarsh this morning per CP.

In the almost constant drizzle today The Dusky Warbler was reported as still being present this morning, but I was unable to find it in a couple of visits. The Glossy was still visiting its island in the lake, the usual Marsh Harriers and Egrets were also around, a lovely sight this morning was the flock of 227 Russian White-fronted Geese flying into the fields opposite Cockles Bridge. Click HERE for a short YouTube video of the White-fronts.14 Bewick Swans turned up on the ARC this afternoon which made my visit there in the pouring rain worthwhile. At the fishing boats this afternoon a couple of Caspian Gulls, a flock of a minimum of 260 Kittiwakes sat just off shore along with 40+ Mediterranean Gulls, also present were a few Red-throated Divers and Gannet.
