Sea watch this morning on another dull and dreary winters day at Dungeness, saw several 1,000s of Cormorants feeding off shore along with several 100s of Gannets, c100 Red-throated Divers were back and forth, but very few Auks, all that were identified to species were Guillemots, just a handful of Kittiwakes, only 2 Mediterranean Gulls among the usual Gull species.
This afternoon at the fishing boats was the same species but smaller numbers with the addition of a 1w Caspian Gull and a flock of c50 Brent Geese that flew East.
1w Caspian Gull at the fishing boats this afternoon
Polish ringed Black-headed Gull TJVV now in its 5th winter at Dungeness fishing boats
On the reserve a couple more Caspian gulls were seen by others and the Great Northern diver was still present, but the Long-tailed Duck wasn't seen though is probably still present.
A quick sit to Walland saw 19 Bewick swans at Midley and the single Whooper Swan with Mute Swans at Newlands Farm
1 1 of 19 Bewick Swans at Midley today
A brief spell of sunshine yesterday enticed the local Little Owl out
