Probably the poorest sea watch this year.
06.30-08.30 from the hide AJG
Brent Goose: 18E
Red-throated Diver: 1W
Great-crested Grebe: 11 on
Gannet: 56E 8 feeding
Oystercatcher: 18E
Sandwich Tern: 4E
Carrion Crow: 7 in off
Pied Wagtail: 7 in off
Harbour Porpoise: 3
At the observatory 3 Peregrines tussling around the power station, also some unseen Siskins calling as they flew over and a Brambling.
A quick check of the ARC found 2 Great White Egrets and 10 Little Egrets in front of Hanson, viewed from the screen and at least 2 Goldeneye still. At Cooks Pool at least 2 Glossy Ibis and at Cockles Bridge 4 Cattle Egrets still.
At Scotney still good numbers of Wigeon, 20, Avocet, Mediterranean Gulls, 4 Tree Sparrows, and the usual feral geese.
At cool Dengemarsh this afternoon still at least Garganey present, plenty of Teal and Shoveler still, also Cetti's Warblers, Bearded Tits and Bittern which boomed half heartedly as I was leaving, most unusual was a Fieldfare at Springfield Bridge.
I'm guessing this bird lost the argument
The winner perhaps
3 of the Garganey at Dengemarsh this afternoon
Fieldfare at Springfield Bridge
