THE LAST POST ???

If the world ends tomorrow,I thought it would be fitting to say farewell to all my friends and readers,and see you on the other side,if it doesn`t then happy christmas to one and all and see you in the White Horse tomorrow evening.
There has not been a lot of action on my birding front of late,just a few more Dover Diver photos

Here the white patch at the rear is clearly visible,an ID feature of the Black throated diver.

Note also the straight,not upturned bill

I don`t know if the bird is still in the docks at Dover,but I think the DHB are getting a bit fed up of some irresponsible people trespassing onto the pontoons trying to get even closer images,so please stay up top before they restrict access to the area all together.
Stodmarsh harrier roost on monday :-11 marsh harriers,no hen harriers,thousands of fieldfares

FEMALE MARSH HARRIER going to roost in the reedbed.

the evening sky filled with the chatter of 1000s of fieldfares going to roost.

FAILED MOONSHOT

Whilst doing a litter sweep of the Samphire Hoe beach on Tuesday we came across this large mermaids purse,which we think is a BLONDE RAY egg case,unless you know different!

HAPPY CHRISTMAS REGARDLESS,KEEP CALM AND DRINK BEER.
