A check of the Scotney Pits found all the usual feral geese but loo scarcer species among them.

The Goosander was still on the westernmost pit at Camber today

Yellow ringed 1st cal year Caspian Gull unfortunately it resolutely refused to move to shallow water so all I managed to get was P:8** making it a Polish bird.

Most of the afternoon was spent in Dennis's hide looking at Gulls, 3 Caspian and a a Yellow-legged Gull was found, once again the Starling murmuration was excellent.
