An hour this morning watching from outside the hide as it was much warmer standing in the weak winter sun than sitting a freezing cold hide, a shame that so little was seen.

Some of the 21 Greater White-fronted Geese that were at the Sussex end of Scotney today, 5 were seen early in the day later joined by more pushed from a hidden field by sheep.
There appears to be at least 2 Great Northern Divers on the reserve, very little else of note there at the moment though this may due to the extensive conservation work being carried out.
A sickly Avocet with a broken bill at Scotney today
Little Owl enjoying the warm sunshine at Scotney today
A female/immature Common Scoter on one of the smaller pits at Scotney
A Darvik ringed Brent Goose at scorned today, most probably Dutch ringed, I await details
