Large shearwater sp - Martin Casemore
Sea-watching improved, but not all sightings could be confirmed. Most excitingly a large shearwater was seen past Dungeness on the 2nd. Despite being photographed, it was too far to identify to species level. A Gull-billed Tern was reported past Graveney Marshes on the 3rd, while the regulars at North Foreland saw a distant adult Long-tailed Skua fly by on the 4th. Also past North Foreland a Sooty Shearwater on the 5th. Further sea-watch highlights included a Black-throated Diver past Deal and 17 Black Tern past Oare.
Last week's Pectoral Sandpiper remained all week at Dungeness, but the White-rumped Sandpiper at Oare was only seen till the 1st.
No significant new wader migration was reported with just a few Wood Sandpiper and Curlew Sandpiper around. What seemed like a family group of 5 Black-necked Grebes were at Lade.
A Purple Heron was tracked past Reculver and Swalecliffe flying towards Sheppey on the 1st. Another was at Stodmarsh on the 6th. A Common Quail was heard overhead on the evening of the 4th at Woodnesborough. The Bonaparte's Gull continued its moult at Oare.

A Wood Warbler in a garden in Seaton, a couple of Grasshopper Warbler (at Dungeness and Bockshill) and a Redstart (at Dungeness) were the main highlights of passerine migration.
A sunny and warm week ahead. Enjoy.
