A thoroughly miserable day with constant rain or drizzle with very low cloud all day. A male Marsh Harrier quartering the Rape field in front the house was my highlight, though a lovely male Pied Wagtail collecting food from the garden was a close second as it is a bird I have very rarely seen actually in the garden. The only news was a single Common Sandpiper on Burrowes per PT who was brave enough to walk round the reserve getting a soaking for his trouble. If the hides were open at Dungeness RSPB as seems to be the case every where else I would have ventured down to the reserve to observe the avian comings and going's.
The image above shows the known history of orange colour ringed Lesser Black-backed Gull that was in the Gull roost by the entrance track to the VC on Friday 25/06/202. It appears to spend most winters in Malaga Harbour.
