Huge numbers of birds coming up the Red Sea coast unfortunately most are stratospheric.

💩 happens.

It is a 200-800

I guess I’ll see whether GA can wriggle out of paying.

That’s close to what I said. 😂

Not the first time😢

Fortunately I’ve got the 100-500 with 1.4 as a back up.

😭

Dungeness: This evening's Starling roost at the ARC.

My incompetence!

Dungeness: 3 Yellow-browed Warblers today, also 2 Siberian Chiffchaffs but rarest of all today on the peninsula was a Bullfinch it is certainly the first I have seen at Dungeness this year. Many thanks to @tom_wright16 of the DBO for the calls and messages.

Musotima nitidalis by the trap was the highlight of garnish’s catch 42 of 8. 3 S B Straws, 2 vitrealis & the usual Black Rustics.

Early afternoon bike ride to Scotney GP was quite productive. 2 Black-necked Grebes, 2 Green Sandpipers, a Little Owl and another Dartford Warbler, also 100s of Lapwing, Golden Plover and Wigeon, 5 Marsh Harriers also 3 Barnacle Geese the first I have seen since last Winter.
