Whooper and Bewick Swans back on Walland Marsh,  hopefully more will join them in the coming days forecasted Arctic blast.

I've not been sea watching for a few days but hope to remedy that in the coming days, though those who have spent time sea watching found it rather underwhelming.

There were still at least 16 Little Gulls on Scotneys western most back pit which is all in East Sussex, the sand pit also East Sussex held 2 Green Sandpipers and a Common Sandpiper. 2,000+ each of Golden Plover and Lapwing with at least 8 Ruff can be found at the back of Scotney, along with Ravens, Common Buzzard, Merlin, Marsh Harriers and a ring tail Hen Harrier that has been touring the peninsula, 100s of Greylag, Canada and Egyptian Geese, with 4 Brent and 6 Barnacle Geese, so far just the 11 Pink-footed Geese have joined them but I expect more in the coming days.

A poor image of the Green-winged Teal on Burrowes Pit, hopefully better will be achieved in the coming days
