 6th March

6th March

Not been out for four days after a skin cancer on my forehead was removed at Canterbury, bit of a headache.  So first day out took a short visit to the London Array watch point as crowds of people were along the seafront. 

An hour at LA produced 2 peregrines, 1 Great white egret, 4 ravens, marsh harrier and ringtail harrier, 3 buzzards.

The tide was just leaving the beach which attracted c2000 knot and similar numbers of knot and a big number of brents in the distance. At the pumping station 2 Canada geese flew over the railway line towards Sheppey. By the pub field 15 golden plovers, 2 lapwings and walking towards C.Coote 9 shelduck and a little egret.

Late afternoon another dusk watch seeing the great white still present plus the male hen harrier again also one barn owl out and a sparrowhawk and 2 kestrels.

As the sun went down it was quite a sight as it sunk down over Cleve Hill.
