Mild, cloudy, SW3 - A check of Lade pits this morning turned up low numbers of wintering wildfowl including a single Goldeneye. Likewise it was the same birds from the past week around the reserve with at least 10 Caspian Gulls on Burrowes from Dennis`s hide and a pair of Pintail on ARC. It looks as though the Boulderwall fields project is near completion with most of the heavy plant now removed. Nine Cattle Egrets were in the sheep fold at Cockles Bridge while four Bewick`s and a Whooper Swan were viewable from Swamp Crossing.
The only birds of note last week have been a Pintail at Lade and a Water Pipit over Tanners Pool while thousands of Cormorants continue to feed offshore at Dungeness. The Scotney complex delivered five White-fronts, a Scaup and a Black-necked Grebe at the Sussex end.
