Not sure what to make of this Herring Gull sp.
It has been a very slow week with barely a trickle of new waders, there was a a Wood Sandpiper from Hanson yesterday evening per CT but no sign today. The 3 Egret species and Glossy Ibis and Garganey can all be seen around the reserve with a little patience, also Bittern and Bearded Tit, but the constant winds makes things difficult. Burrowes has been very poor avian wise despite plenty of islands, Terns have been virtually non existent, though Sand Martins have been around in their 1,000s as is usual for July Swifts have been fairly numerous on their way south, Kingfishers are being seen daily at the ARC and Dengemarsh. I'm not sure how successful the Marsh Harriers have been this year as I am only seeing 1 maybe 2 juveniles around.
$ of the up to 6 Glossy Ibis that have been around the ARC recently
4 Cattle and a Little Egret at the ARC
Grey Wagtail scarce visitor to the peninsula in July
There have been many 1,000s of Sand Martins through the peninsula this month
