At first they were over the far side of the scrape feeding with a single dunlin
but after a while one of them came to the near side,although never close.
After a pass by a peregrine disturbed them a sparrowhawk was too much and they took flight towards Pegwell and I headed for home.

LUNAR UNDERWING IN THE TRAP LAST NIGHT
Today was one of those days when an early call from Paul Holt meant a rarity had turned up a juvenile ROSE COLOURED STARLING had been found at the Hoe by Geoff Burton.
When I got there a few bods were already on site,the bird had joined up with the resident starling flock and showed clearly in the sunshine as a very pale bird compared to the normal starlings.

While sorting out the photos I came across this
I didn`t know at the time that the RCS had been there focusing on the central bird.,shame about the missing wing tip.
