I joined AJG who kept the log for an early morning sea watch:
06.00-08.00
Common Scoter: 17W
Gannet: 5E
Grey Heron: 1 out
Oystercatcher: 2E
Mediterranean Gull: $ feeding off shore
Sandwich Tern: 4E
Common Tern: 16 At The Patch
Commic Tern: 18E
Black Redstart: 1 around
Black-tailed Godwit in Hayfield 1
After the sea watch I visited the ARC and walked up to The Pines, 100s of Swifts, House and Sand Martins were hawking over the lake along with a few Swallows and at least 1 Hobby in attendance. Today was the first time in a long while that I didn't see the Glossy Ibis though it could easily hide in the vegetation where a Water Rail was squealing.
A walk around the hay fields towards Burrowes and got another soaking when the rain came with no hides to shelter in. The highlight was a single Black-tailed Godwit on hay field 1. At least 2 Great White Egrets were around Dengemarsh, the Black Swan still present, also lots of Swifts over and 2 more Hobby's and at least 6 Ravens
but little else of note.
At Scotney 3 more Black Swans have joined the many 100s of feral Geese
A Ruddy Carpet was a new moth for me in the trap yesterday
