Black-necked Grebes

New Romney - warm, dry and sunny, SE2 - Following cool, clear conditions overnight the garden moth trap only held 10 species of macros, but did include Eyed and Poplar Hawk-moths, plus two Snouts.

A call in at Hanson hide at midday proved profitable with a flock off 22 Black-tailed Godwits, two Avocets and a Little Ringed Plover the best of the passage waders, while out on the water three Black-necked Grebes spent most of their time underwater fishing. Plenty of common wildfowl were in front of the hide, plus Cuckoo, Hobby and Kingfisher present nearby. An evening visit to the Screen hide revealed four Glossy Ibis feeding on the islands opposite.
