Had another day on Sheppey yesterday. I did Leysdown Country Park and adjacent fields and Capel Fleet. Highlights included the 10 Bewick's Swans again, White-fronted Geese, a few Red-throated Divers, a couple of Hen Harriers and a handful of Marsh Harriers. Also plenty of Med Gulls around and many getting towards summer plumage.

Plenty of Common Gulls around too- this one stood out as being a rather heavily marked first-winter
Sanderling, Turnstone and Dunlin

The sea was coming over the sea wall at high tide with a fairly strong and cold east wind
