The last 2 Pomarine Skuas of the day passing in the fading evening light yesterday at 20.08
Yesterday was the big Pomarine Skua day of the year with a very nice 86 birds seen passing The Point. I believe that 157 Poms have passed The Point this spring, I have managed to see a respectable 147 of them. The sea watching this spring has been on the whole good with hopefully more good days to come, though it will be nice to have time to go out and look for the many woodland and farmland species I have not seen this year due to spending far to much time staring at the sea.
Female Whinchat at Dengemarsh today my first of the year
After this mornings sea watch which saw another single Pomarine Skua, also an arrival of Swifts and Swallows, it was good to have a wander around Dengemarsh this afternoon despite the strong wind and cloudy conditions, seeing my first Whinchat, lots of Swallows and Swifts, 3 Greenshank, Garganey. Hobby's, Bittern, Great White egrets and Marsh Harriers along with the usual Warblers.
Swallows and swifts arrive in good numbers today
