Some footage of the Great white egret at #Pegwell yesterday with a bonus Red-throated diver and I'm pretty sure that's a Peregrine perched in the distance. :-) #kentbirding

58 Balearic Shearwaters west past the Fishing Boats in the first hour this morning. Otherwise fairly quiet with a few dabblers, Arctic Skuas and two Little Gulls. #kentbirding

The Red-throated diver was pretty close to #Ramsgate westcliff at high tide yesterday morning. It must have drifted into #Pegwell Bay as I picked it up again at the mouth of the river at the nature reserve later on. 🙂 #Kentbirding
