Raptors on Sheppey

A truly great day on the Island, with leader Tony spotting amazing birds with utterly impressive regularity. Merlin, Sparrowhawk (which I missed), Common Buzzard, Marsh Harrier, Peregrine, Kestrel were the target raptor species seen. Black-headed Gull, Herring Gull, Great Black-backed Gull, Curlew, Golden Plover, Lapwing, Dunlin, Carrion Crow, Magpie, a lovely Stonechat pair, a very nice Pipit, Corn Bunting, Linnet, FieldFare, Starling, Brent Geese, Greylag Goose, White-fronted Goose, Mallard, Little Egret. Bearded Reedling, Siskin and Kingfisher were heard apparently.
