East Kent 8/03/22
Started the day in east Kent hoping to find Goshawk. However, despite seemingly ideal conditions with bright sunshine and little wind we drew a blank, though did see good activity from Buzzards (about eight), including four in the sky together at one point. Also one Kestrel nearby.
Oare marshes was the next destination hoping to catch up with the Green-winged Teal, first found last Saturday. The duck was still present on the west flood though stayed hidden for some of the time. Green-winged Teal has a vertical white bar beside the breast and only an indistinct buff edge to the green head band is visible.
The east flood at Oare was very disappointing, with very high water levels and few birds. Reasonable numbers of Pintail, however.
