Strong winds led to zero up the cliffs first thing but a second helping of the Glaucous Gull at shakey was enjoyable mid afternoon, it seems to be feeding well enough despite its damaged bill.
A first Winter Caspian Gull (below) eventually turned up in the melee and there was a first winter yellow legged gull too.
While walking back home I scanned the harbour and was surprised to see a Brent Goose sitting alone on the water.
Face on and at a distance I could make out its complete collar and it looked to be very Black and white. It turned out to be the Black Brant! that has been seen at a few sites in East Kent in the past couple of days.
Lovely bird and the only Brent goose Ive seen in the harbour. I wonder where it will be seen next.
