March 12th.

Another nice bright morning,walking round the lakes this morning I saw (10) Mallard (25) Teal (1) Oystercatcher and (1) Redshank along the river (30) Redwing and (20) Fieldfare in the east scrub and the Little Egret which was again along the millstream.There was no sign of the Smew and many of the Gadwall appear to have moved out overnight.

During the afternoon Jeanette and I had a walk on the Downs at Cuxton,we saw two Brimstones and two Buzzards.When we got back to the car which was parked on the A228,a Raven flew over.

  1. Alan ,
    Well done with the Raven sighting .
    Can I respectfully question your Clouded Yellow sightings , could they have been male Brimstones ? Lots of them about yesterday and extremely early for Clouded Yellow , but if they were , Kent Butterfly Conservation would be really interested .
