Little Owl sunning itself
As the weather was so nice I went out on the marsh on my Bicycle this afternoon where I encountered 3 Little Owls, 5 Marsh Harriers and 2 Common Buzzards of note, sadly no winter Thrushes yet nor wildfowl. At Scotney a Ruff and 4 Redshank were on the Sward but only a handful of Golden Plover and no wild Geese. Later I cycled down to Denge Marsh hide where the new islands were attracting roosting Gulls (The islands on Burrowes and the ARC have nearly all submerged) among the Gulls were a Brute of a 2w Caspian Gull and a 2w Yellow-legged Gull, also several Common Snipe on the islands. Passing Boulderwall there were 7 Cattle Egrets and 2 Glossy Ibis with the cattle, it seems likely that there are now 3 Glossy ibis present on the reserve.
