Mild, cloudy, SW2 - A check of Lade this morning produced all the expected wildfowl including three Goldeneyes and a drake Pintail still on south lake. Cetti`s Warbler, Chiffchaff, Green Woodpecker and Kingfisher were all noted around the willow swamp. Moving onto the reserve where five more Goldeneyes were on Burrowes along with several Caspian Gulls and Great White Egrets, plus a recently arrived Great Northern Diver that proved to be very elusive as it fished amongst a flock of Cormorants on the far side of the lake.
Elsewhere over the weekend there was no increase in numbers to the small flock of wild swans on Walland, while the Sussex end of Scotney briefly held four Black-necked Grebes and a Scaup; up to seven White-fronts were also seen on the fields between Lydd and Dengeamrsh. At home a Firecrest has been seen and heard in our New Romney garden on several occasions recently.
