Red-throated Diver passing the fishing boats soon after sunrise
Some of the Brent Geese flew along the beach over us
I must be getting old, by 10.00 o'clock I was very cold, so left the beach to have a hot breakfast, this afternoon by 16.00 I was again cold and this time went home for a roast dinner.😊

Juvenile Gannet passing the boats this afternoon
A visit to the ARC on my way back to the beach after lunch saw the Glossy Ibis, Black-necked Grebe, the top of the Garganeys head, 100s of Shoveler plus the usual wildfowl, sadly the islands are still diminishing rapidly, tonights forecast rain will certainly add to the problem.
2 spoonbills were on Scotney main lake per SO.
It looks as though the new islands being created on Denge Marsh might attract the Gulls to roost there, Tom Wright saw 2 Caspian and a Yellow-legged Gull on them this afternoon.
