Kent Survey 19/10/15

First of the winter bird surveys yesterday for myself and Mo, north kent the venue, along our regular stretch of the hoo peninsula.

First bird seen was a late Northern Wheatear, followed by a clunking Raven along the seawall (a patch tick for myself).

Wader and Wildfowl numbers were fairly low but several Green sands bombed around.

Beardies seemed to have a good breeding season with several family parties moving around.

Other notable passerines were singles of both Yellowhammer & Brambling.

Star bird goes to a spanking male Hen Harrier picked up by Mo along the seawall as we were about to leave.
