Mild, cloud, S 2 - Across the weekend a steady south-bound passage of hirundines continued over the peninsula along with plenty of Chiffchaffs and Blackcaps in the bushes at Lade yesterday, plus small parties of Siskins, mainly heard overhead, along with a few Meadow Pipits, Skylarks and Goldfinches. Duck numbers remained high, particularly Shoveler with over 200 counted as well as 110 Teal, 180 Gadwall, 42 Great Crested and 12 Little Grebes, 12 Little and two Great White Egrets. Today at the RSPB reserve, where a KOS event was taking place, waders on Burrowes included 100 Lapwings, seven Dunlins, two Ruffs and a Common Sandpiper. Also noted three Great White Egrets, several Marsh Harriers and three Glossy Ibises over Boulderwall; on Friday evening three Glossies flew over New Romney, while the Buff-breasted Sandpiper was still present at the back of Scotney today.
