A pleasant sea watch with the highlight being a spell when 620 Red-throated Divers came through in a 20 minute spell.
After breakfast I decided against going to Scotney to see the American Wigeon as I guessed there would be some birders blocking the farmers gates, it appears I was right about that. Instead I had a look around Bretts Marina then the ARC. 2+ Firecrests at Bretts were about the best there, a Jack Snipe around the ARC was the highlight there.
Another hour spent watching the Lesser Whitethroat (halimodendri) in the garden with moth pot to hand incase it pooed for me, it didn't so still no DNA. I got excited when it had a go at House Sparrow which trie to push it off the feeder, alas there were no feathers flying.
