After a late breakfast and some domestic stuff I cycled out to Scotney. A bit too breezy for the local Little Owls to be out and there was 2 Ravens very close by.
Scotney delivered all the usual species including 3 White-fronted Geese and Ring tail Hen Harrier that flew across the road and out onto the ranges. I only found a single Green Sandpiper at the back of the lakes. The monthly Harrier roost count again produced no roosting birds in my chosen reed bed in fact I saw very little at all there. As I got out of my car in the driveway of my house, I heard a familiar call from 2 Whooper Swans and a Bewick's Swan that could just about be made out in the dark heading for the ARC.
There were 3 Greater White-fronted Geese on the Scotney Sward early afternoon
Culew on the sward
A couple of Pintail on the main Scotney Lake. definitely not a daily occurrence
