Yesterday in Kent. The 3 Snow Bunting at Reculver were their usual super confiding, whilst the American Wigeon at Scotney wasn't!

A few year ticks around Worth at the weekend: Cattle Egret Dartford Warbler (1 of 2), Water Pipit (at least 10) & White-fronted Geese. Throw in '000s of ducks & Lapwings for a true winter spectacle.

Despite Dusky & Pallas's Warblers on site #Bockhill, another 2 Yellow-browed Warblers my only reward for a full day in the field.

Mothing has been a bit slow here, so this fresh Flame Brocade was a welcome addition to the garden list.
