Sunday - Dungeness - warm, dry, NE 2 - 0900-1200hrs - While not ideal conditions for seawatching, what with hazy light over the sea and high cloud, it turned into a memorable session high on quality with the undoubted highlights being our first four Pomarine Skuas of spring. There was a good supporting cast comprising two Black-throated Divers, five Avocets, two Velvet Scoters, five Bonxies, 10 Little Gulls and 10 Little Terns. A steady flow of terns produced at least 10 Arctic Terns amongst the more numerous Common and Sandwich Terns, plus 100 Common Scoters, 10 Brents, two Mergansers, 20 each of Whimbrel and Barwit, 10 Mediterranean Gulls, Gannet, Red-throated Diver, Fulmar and three Mute Swans sailing by serenely on the sea!
