Went to Oare last Sunday and got the Red-necked Grebe. Was very happy to see 2 Male Hen Harriers together as well. Also Barn Owl.

Patching again at Cliffe Pools. Did a WeBS count too. Green Sandpiper, Spotted Redshank and a Male Merlin were the highlights but the best bird was definitely a White-fronted Goose on the neighbouring marshes. Today was NOT a day for photography 🤦‍♂️.

Took a trip to North Foreland at midday on Wednesday for an hour seawatch while visiting family. 5 Fulmars were my highlight. Close enough to touch! Also just over 20 Red-throated Divers, Razorbill, Kittiwakes, Gannet etc. Some BOC shots and a Digiscoped shot of them.

The Bearded Reedlings have been stars at Elmley this week, feeding within 4 metres of visiting birders. The Shorties are now up to 25 individuals, and 3 Hen Harriers continue to roam the reserve, surprising the lucky few or rewarding those who are willing to wait #kentbirding

Two scorpions from Oman, the little one possibly a Deathstalker (one of world’s most venomous sp); the larger one unearthed itself to my alarm after I inadvertently touched its back which was only just breaking the surface under a rock! 😬

A morning spent at Godmersham Park in a foggy and drizzling setting. Had a brief Hawfinch opposite the Old Vicarage. It was good to see at least a dozen Tree Sparrows (now a scarce bird in Kent). A similar no. of Greenfinchs and a drake Mallard x Pintail in the stream. #ukbirding #kentbirding
