Arctic Skua

Dungeness - cool, sunny, NE 3 - A nippy morning first thing for a brief seawatch from the hide that delivered a trickle of Common and Sandwich Terns east, Gannets going both ways, a Fulmar and a lone dark phase Arctic Skua up. Also noted on the sea several Porpoises and a Grey Seal, while a few Swifts and Swallows hurried north. On the land, at least three Black Redstarts in song, Linnets, Mipits, Stonechats and a single Greenland Wheatear by the Moat and the Peregrine pair on their usual spot on A station.
  Called in at Burrowes where a stint was reported yesterday, but the only waders present were Redshank, Dunlin and a Grey Plover over, plus plenty of Common Tern activity.
