In a three hour seawatch with birds moving SW we had 785 Gannets, 6 Red-throated Divers, 4 Brent Geese, 1Red-breasted Merganser, 7 Common Scoters, 6 Oystercatchers, 15 Curlews, 226 Auks, 1 Little Auk, 120 Kittiwakes and 3 Sandwich Terns.
Flying off towards France was a Short-eared Owl that after it was 2 or 3 kms out it turned and returned to the shore. It was later seen offshore at North Deal.
Later at Dusky Hollow there were 3 Blackcaps, 4 Chiffchaffs, many Goldcrests and a Firecrest.
