Wed 9th Feb 22

A short lunch time visit for me today and again very little change. 8 Turnstone were on the rocks just south of French Point and 2 Purple Sands just to the north. Offshore a dozen or so Cormorants were milling around and c6 Red-t-Divers were sitting on the sea.

c1000 Woodpigeon were on the ploughed field toward Gt. Holland with a nice lot of Stock Doves and on the scrape were 60 Wigeon, 40 Teal, 10 Mallard, 8 Shoveler, 2 Shelduck, 4 BlkWits, 2 Avocet + 2 Stonechat to the right of the hide. 35+ Curlew were on the marsh behind the scrape and the marsh below the raised platform held the c40 Whitefronts and a lot more ducks and gulls.

The Dartford Warbler was seen again this morning in the same hedge along the bridleway midway between the the farm and the golf course JG.
