On Wednesday morning 4 Green Sandpipers flew up from the R. M. Canal. 4 Avocets on Carters Flood and 5 Buzzards just to the east. On Pannel Scrape the Bar Headed Goose with a dozen Canadas in front of the hide and no camera with me. Back home in the garden a pair of Bullfinches.
In the afternoon in the sunshine a walk around Rye Hbr LNR found Sandwich terns with Oyster Catchers on the new islands of the Ternery pool.

The Ternery Pool also held 60 plus Med Gulls and even more Black Headed Gulls now in full Summer plumage.
On the pool behind the Ternery Pool I finally found the over wintering Spotted Redshank.
