Phil walked along the base of the cliffs from Kingsdown to St Margaret's Bay and had 33 Rock Pipits. Other than that there were only 7 Curlew and an Oystercatcher.

Very few birds today apart from the resident pair of Ravens and the wintering pair of Stonechats. As we left we stopped at the fields inland of Bockhill and had 21 Buzzards in the air,

From 11:00 until 12:45 in the Bay we had at least 100 Red-throated Divers plus 1 Black-throated Diver moving down Channel. On the sea were 500 plus gulls, mostly Herring, and several Guillemots. At 12:17 a Sooty Shearwater dropped down quite close in and gave us excellent views for 10 minutes before it moved off South.

There was very little on the sea apart from a few Red-throated Divers and Great Crested Grebes. In the area we only had a couple of Goldcrests and Ravens but about 11:00 we heard that there was a White-tailed Eagle at Dover so we went up to the Paddock where we watch for raptors. It was about half an hour before we picked the eagle up moving north and we had good views for some 20 minutes as it flew off towards Sandwich.
