12/07/2017 Twitching in Kent

Wednesday 12 July 2017
Kent


  • With a high tide at 15.19, I finally got to visit Oare Marshes to twitch the Bonaparte's Gull.  The bird was asleep on the ground by the East Flood with lots of Black-headed Gulls in close proximity.  Thankfully it was the nearest bird to us -  barely 30 metres away.  It's a pity I didn't get to see it walk or fly but the ID was clear cut with the black head showing really well.
  • On the way home I called in at Dungeness to twitch the Curlew Sandpiper on the ARC pit, viewed from the screen hide.
