Very quiet offshore at Climping this morning so didn't sit around that long. The
Kumlien's Gull still present at the river mouth late morning, 1w 1e Red-throated Diver, 1e Diver spa, 22e 10w Sandwich Tern, 5e Common Scoter, 13w 5e Gannet, 2e Med Gull, 30w Sanderling, 2w Dunlin, 36w Oystercatcher, 10 Swallow and 1w Grey Plover. In and around the fields singles of Yellow Wagtail, which flew east from the car park, Whitethroat, Sedge Warbler and 8 Wheatear. 2 Peregrine Falcon, 3 Grey Partridge and 2 Buzzard.
A quick visit around the Farm produced a singing Whitethroat and 4-5 Wheatear, being the only difference amongst the regular offing.
