29/10/2024

A drizzly foggy morning on the peninsular ruled out any chance of a sea watch, indeed I did not leave home until after 10.00 when the weather began to improve. A damp walk around The Point found at least 5 Dartford Warblers, 3 Black Redstarts and a couple of Goldcrests. Overhead a few each of Redpoll, Siskin and Chaffinch were heard but not seen and again no Thrushes except a 3 Blackbirds. 
On the reserve the 2 Black-necked Grebes and the Red-throated Diver were still on Burrowes but little else and only a handful of Gulls. At Denge Marsh again few Gulls just 2 Common Snipe on the new islands of any note, with 24 more on the new Christmas Dell islands.
8 Cattle Egrets and 4 Great White Egrets were on Boulderwall Fields.
