1 of 6 Avocets present on the ARC was colour ringed probably in a French colony, hopefully I will receive details in due course.
A trickle of waders coming through the lakes this week as well as the usual July Hirundines. There are still at least 4 probably 5 Glossy Ibis present around Dungeness, 4+ Cattle Egrets, 3+ Great White Egrets, the usual Marsh Harriers and Bearded Tits. A Red Kite over Burrowes much to the annoyance of the Gulls. There is very little sign of passerine migration, also very little movement of sea birds yet.
First juvenile Mediterranean Gull of the year at the ARC
3 of the 4 Garganey present on the ARC
Probably the reason for the predation of the Avocets and Oystercatchers nests at the ARC
Immature Red Kite over Burrowes Pit this week
Todays Pectoral Sandpiper spent the day on one of the distant islands
4 Cattle Egrets came into the ARC this evening pre roost
Colour ringed Black-headed Gull XJ3N probably from Eastern Germany, I look forward to hearing from the ringer.
