Storm Darragh duly arrived across the peninsula making birding virtually impossible. Yesterdays sea watch was as expected poor and with the wind going due North overnight I didn't attempt a watch this morning. The Hume's Warbler is still present but unsurprisingly very flighty in the wind. A wander from Dennis's up to Dengemarsh hide and back this morning was unrewarding, with highlight of a Black-necked Grebe, a not so welcome sight was that of a Mink scurrying across the track at Firth Look Out. An unseen Chiffchaff at Christmas Dell and nothing notable at Dengemarsh. Viewing from on the ARC from Hanson was unpleasant with the wind howling straight across the lake into my face, again unsurprisingly nothing of note was seen.
Now that the wind has eased marginally and turned to North East I will hopefully try the sea again tomorrow.
