Rye Twitch

Thursday 26th January 2023

With the good weather holding on, I took the chance to go down to the Rye area for a twitch.  On my shopping list were 4 birds:-

• A scaup which had been present at Camber since 15th January.
• A spoonbill which was on the Rye Harbour NNR
• 2 Slavonian grebes that were also on Rye Harbour NNR
• The long-staying black-necked grebe that was on also on the nature reserve but at the Castle Water end.

I managed to see the scaup and the black-necked grebe but the spoonbill wasn't there when I arrived and the Slavonian grebes were too far away for me to be sure of the ID even with my scope.

2023 species count = 109
