Spotted Redshank & Garganey from Hanson
After yesterdays influx of Balearic Shearwaters, the sea watching today returned to being rather poor.
There were a few Willow Warblers, Common and Lesser Whitethroats with a few Blackcaps at the top of the Long Pits, though even these seemed to melt away rather quickly. 100s of Swallows have been feeding over the half cut Lydd fields, joined by a few House and Sand Martins, I guess feeding on the disturbed insects. Several visits to Hanson today where the Spotted Redshanks were new this morning and a Black-necked Grebe was new this evening, The 2 Glossy Ibis were still present along with 2+ Garganey, Dunlin, Ringed Plovers, Golden Plover, Great White Egrets and the usual Herons and wildfowl. The 2 Black Terns were still on Burrowes and a Greenshank was at Dengemarsh also a Hobby.
