Glossy Ibis still present this morning in the Gull colony on the ARC
A bit of a wash out today with rain from mid morning continuing all day and into this evening. However not to bad day for birds, the star being the Rose-coloured Starling found by Stephen Message at Dengemarsh. The Iceland Gull is now into its 7th month around the power station area, though there was little else on the sea today. A damp walk around the hay fields saw the usual Yellow Wagtails, Corn Buntings, numerous Reed Buntings, Bearded Tits, Reed, Sedge and Cetti's Warblers, also a Great White Egret, Marsh Harriers, 2 Hobby's and the booming Bittern along with the usual wildfowl.
