Acrylic sketch of one of today’s Lesser spots.

Stunning day in my local woods. The Lesser spots were active all morning including at noon this amazing display of wing flicking, wryneck posturing plus an unfamiliar guttural call. @lesserspotnet

Distant adult American Golden Plover roosting on Flat Beach Rye Harbour this morning. Perhaps the Jury’s Gap bird which was last seen by myself on 8 October.

Juvenile Hobby complete with ring at ARC Dungeness today.

A lovely surprise at Dengemarsh Gully today when this smart Pallas’s Warbler appeared in front of me.
