On the reserve the divers were still present per MH. 2 Firecrests still along the entrance track between Cooks and Tanners per DB. On the marsh the 2 Tundra Bean Geese were still in the same place per NF.
Once again very little of note at Scotney this morning. This afternoon around Dengemarsh a Bittern by the pump, a Raven over, Chiffchaff at the sluice and a Skylark and a Stonechat in the set aside, the birding is pretty desperate at the moment.
