A soggy Dusky Warbler
A day of non stop rain and drizzle on the peninsular made birding challenging. First stop at The Patch was very disappointing with very few Gulls present compared to recent days and no White Wingers except Mediterranean Gulls.
At the ARC plenty of the usual wildfowl, but no sign of the Ibis or Black-throated Diver, I was fortunate enough to come across The Hamstreet Birder who just happened to be watching the Dusky Warbler. It was very active and always managed to keep twigs between it and my camera, considering the appalling weather I was surprised to get any images of it all, 2500 iso to get any shutter speed and light. Please note the ARC car park is closed at the moment.
I spent an hour sheltering behind a fishing boat this afternoon and racked up 3 Bonxies, 3 Fulmars, 270+ Kittiwakes, 650+ Guillemots (not a single Razorbill), 40+ Red-throated Divers, 40+ Mediterranean Gulls, Gannets and Great-crested Grebes.
