Warm, dry and sunny, SE 3- Superb morning session at Scotney sand pit where a flock of 26 Dunlins held singles of Curlew Sandpiper and Little Stint (both moulting adults) in their midst. However, a Hobby came barelling in over the water and flushed the lot, although the stint did return later along with two Black-tailed Godwits. Also of note a Wood Sandpiper, a Greenshank, two Ringed Plovers, several Common and Green Sandpipers, Avocets, Lapwings and Oystercatchers, plus the usual array of Shelducks, feral geese, Little Egrets, Pied and Yellow Wagtails. A check of Lade pits produced nothing new.
During our Ted walks over the weekend several Willow Warblers were noted around New Romney gardens and parks on Saturday, plus a family of Kestrels and Common Buzzards being attended to north of the town and a Little Ringed Plover along the foreshore (quite unusual) yesterday at Pirate Springs, where several fledged Skylarks were present. I`m without a camera at the moment, being in the process of exchanging my well-used bridge camera for an up-dated version which should arrive by next weekend, so any pics on the blog this week will be from my archives.
