Made it down to West Hythe first thing this morning to see this “first for Kent”. It showed really well for over an hour.

If only twitching was always this easy.

A brief visit this afternoon produce good numbers of waders including

Black-tailed Godwit

Summer plumage Grey Plover. (Black-bellied Plover seems much more appropriate)

Generally it is not good for moths here - too many other light sources nearby.

But occasionally something good turns up - Lime Hawkmoth

Nothing much else - a few Heart & Dart and a smart White Ermine.

Distant views of Red-footed Falcon and fleeting ones of Golden Oriole at Lakenheath.

No sign of Stone Curlew at Weeting Heath just an obliging Spotted Flycatcher

A nice weekend away anyway.
