A very slow morning seawatch after last nights stormy weather with the best being just 70 Brent Geese and a Mediterranean Gull heading east. The land wasn't much better, with just six Chiffchaffs, 13 Goldcrests, four Firecrests and four Redwings of note.
Elsewhere, the first Wheatear of the year for the wider recording area was on the beach off the Romney Tavern at Greatstone as well as the first White Wagtail on the RSPB reserve. Cockles Bridge held its usual two Whooper Swans and 12 Cattle Egrets, plus Scotney still have its family of three Whooper Swans. In Lydd, the Eastern Lesser Whitethroat is still in residence in a private garden, this is for its 75th day.
