Sanderling and Turnstone in the foam this afternoon at Leysdown, after visiting the high-tide roost at Shellness

About 10 Crossbill’s still at Joydens Wood today around picnic area at 2.30pm today & in tall trees around heathland area next to picnic site. At least 3 adult males. #kentbirding

Thanks Neil. Not been to the Woolpack site before. Is arrested obvious from the pub?

Beautiful at Shellness today at high tide. Many Grey plover, sanderling, knot, both Godwits. A Male Hen Harrier flew past the pillbox and 3 common scoter on sea.

Thx Neil useful.

FYI, if anyone is planning to visit a Elmley tomorrow, it was closed today & the notice at the gate said also closed tomorrow (Fri 20 Dec). A poor guy had driven from Southampton!

Woodcock at Canary Wharf this morning. May have been result of a window collision? Photo credit to my daughter’s boyfriend, Tom Sutton.

Re-found Hume’s Warbler yesterday at Dungeness in the Obs garden. Enjoyed watching Gannets close in from the fishing boats, but missed Purple sand and Merlin’s. Then to Swalecliffe for Purple Sand, but couldn’t find any on high tide. 5 Sanderling were a bonus, mixing with 20 Turnstones.
