No, Sunday afternoon Andrew.
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.
This 3w Yellow-legged Gull was the best at Deal this afternoon. Been very quiet lately.
Some more wildfowl record shots from Sandwich: Long-tailed Duck (Prince's Golf Course reservoir) & White-fronted Geese on Worth & R. Stour floods.
Iguanodon footprints on the wave cut platform at Fairlight, E. Sussex today.
Bewick's Swan + Canada Goose - Hook wall
Tundra Bean & White-fronted Geese + Bewick's Swans - Hook Wall
Tundra Bean Geese - Hook Wall
Whooper Swan - Swamp Crossing
A goose-fest on Romney Marsh this afternoon: record shots of Tundra Bean & White-fronted with Bewick's Swans at Hook Wall and Whooper Swan at Swamp Crossing.
This 3rd wint Caspian Gull eventually came to the mix at Deal today.
Some nice Caspian Gull action in St Margaret's Bay with at least 4 present this morning.
Dusky Warbler at Westbrook, Thanet today. A very atypical, showy individual.
Hawklords new 5-piece line up at Underworld, Camden tonight. Great sound at a new venue for me.
Despite Dusky & Pallas's Warblers on site #Bockhill, another 2 Yellow-browed Warblers my only reward for a full day in the field.
Had a large "brown hawker" in-off at Hope Point, Bockhill today aswell, but didn't hang around.
The Pallid Swift at Whiteness, Thanet today. A very showy individual.
I think they are genius Steve. I try to see them whenever I can.
The sublime @psbhq.bsky.social last night at The Barbican with London Contemporary Orchestra. Amazing sound.
This Golden Twin-spot was the pick of a meagre catch last night.
Wheatear at Kingsdown Rifle Butts (1 of 3 #Bockhill today) + Yellow-browed Warbler at Bleriot's Memorial, Dover.
Yellow-browed Warbler & Siberian Chiffchaff at Kingsdown Beach this afternoon. Both found by @brendanryan1.bsky.social.
My 2 favourite autumn moths: Satellite & Merveille du Jour from last night.
Dusky-lemon Sallow & Streak, two less than annual species from this week.
Today was all about crests, plus 3 Yellow-browed Warbler (2 #Bockhill) & this individual in the South Foreland Valley in the drizzle this afternoon.
A showy Yellow-browed Warbler in Kingsdown & later a lovely Caspian Gull in the Big Field #Bockhill
The lovely Great Grey Shrike at Worth this evening was showing very well & catching Migrant Hawkers in the sun.
Mothing has been a bit slow here, so this fresh Flame Brocade was a welcome addition to the garden list.
Red-breasted Merganser wasn't the species I expected to be drawn by flinging sliced white on Walmer beach this evening.
Clouded Yellow this morning on Kingsdown Rifle Butts. Only my 2nd for this year.
A definite October feel #Bockhill today: Gt Sp W-P, Chiffchaff, Firecrest & Goldcrest. Increase in all these, with 150+ Chiffchaff the dominant species.
Blair's Mocha has been the pick of this week's trap - from Weds night.
