The dead fish list leaps on with Common Smoothhound now added (the other 'hound was a Starry), thanks to the Great Black-backed Gulls at the Bill for the heads up on this one!

In other news it was actually half-decent at the Bill for the first hour or so, ten Little Terns offshore and two east, a few Common Terns and a female-type Garganey with a male Common Scoter also heading off left. Pleased with the Garganey as it can be a tricky bird on the Manhood Peninsula. Also a Great Skua and an Arctic Skua (I missed the latter) and a lively political debate...sometimes it's quite handy to be somewhat taciturn...🤣🤣

Managed to dip the Spoonbill at Medmerry and the Ferry and there was also no sign of a Common Sandpiper on the Stilt Pool but blushes were spared by HR's lovely singing Lesser Whitethroat at Yeoman's Field. I've always though that Yeoman's could turn up a Ring Ouzel or a rarer thrush; I've never seen one in situ there myself although I believe the odd RO has graced its hedgerows...
