Lot's of Gannets and Scoters moving through and I found an Arctic and Great Skua that the Jims didn't manage to get on. A single Fulmar, couple of Sarnie terns, a juvenile Med Gull and a probable Arctic Tern was just about it for a couple of hours on the beach. Speaking to Paul H we missed both Manx and Balearic Shearwaters by a few minutes.
I found a Black Redstart on the power station wires and a large unidentified raptor in the distance could have been an Osprey as one was reported this morning.
From Hanson Hide we had Garganey (thanks to Paul H for putting me on them) Black Necked Grebe, Green Sandpipers (4) and several LRP.
We made a detour to Oare Marsh on the way home were Curlew Sandpipers were showing well and the flood was alive with Blackwits, Redshank, Golden Plover, Lapwing , Avocet etc etc.
Nothing to shout about today but some good birding in good company and I always enjoy a day at Dunge.
