The last day of May was more like the last day of January with a cold northerly gale blowing and frequent heavy showers made my day at Samphire Hoe thoroughly miserable,hopefully June will be warmer.
Since the last post,most of my action was on Thursday last when news of the Laughing Gull broke first thing at Dungeness, I then travelled to Hutchinsons Bank Croydon,and called in at Old Lodge in the Ashdown Forest on my way home.

Sunday morning went to Sandwich Bay as I thought Langdon Cliffs would be untenable for birdwatching as it was a bank holiday.No luck with the Monty but a pair of Hobby and a fresh male Holly Blue were nice,as was the Brown Hare.
