juv black tern and first autumn wigeon at arlington this morning.

slightly amusing, a common sand was on falmer pond and a juv little gull was at the marina this afternoon. just as i came off the west arm i noticed a small peep with the naked eye rumaging about in the seaweed on the beach, it really should of been a yank but it was a little stint, bugger! probably a personal site tick.

an unexpected find this morning were 2 dotterel (ad and juv) flying south over fields near arlington res.

a black necked grebe at arlington again today but it did look different to the bird a few days ago.

black necked grebe and juv little gull at arlington this evening.

no sign of any dotterels on 22nd but a further single juvenile there last nite, seen in flight only.

yday: 4 dotterels (3ad and juv) were at balsdean briefly last nite. i didnt have a tripod so the vids are a bit wobbly.

yday: 3rd cal year caspian gull, 25 common terns, 10 barwits and ringed plover at arlington briefly.

17 common terns (including a 2nd cal year bird) and juv yellow legged gull at arlington this afternoon and a juv black tern at shinewater.
