I was unable to escape yesterday so the first order of the day was to visit Cuckmere Haven in the slim hope of the Kentish Plover still being around. Of course, it had indeed moved on but a pair of
Little Ringed Plover was a year tick, and other waders included
Greenshank,
Bar-tailed Godwit,
Whimbrel,
Ringed Plover,
Grey Plover and three
Dunlin. Singles of
Peregrine and
Rock Pipit were logged, along with a pair of
Black Swan. A hunting adult male
Kestrel afforded superb views as I got back to the car.
