East of the Rother
26th February 2009, ThursdayAt Northpoint Pit the Black-necked Grebe found on Sunday was still there today at the far eastern end, and a pair of Mediterranean Gulls were vigorously bathing in the middle of the lake. At Scotney GPs today there was no sign of the 6 Scaup, drake Smew and Pink-foot that were seen on Tuesday, though I met someone who had just been watching 3 female Goosander on the ARC pit at Dungeness. A Green Sandpiper was on a pool at the back of Camber today, while last Sunday another was flushed by the river at Scotts Float. Lastly, on Tuesday a flock of 200+ Wigeon were feeding on fields south of Guldeford Lane Corner and there were at least 3 Tree Sparrows at Barn Farm.
