Some footage of the Great white egret at #Pegwell yesterday with a bonus Red-throated diver and I'm pretty sure that's a Peregrine perched in the distance. :-) #kentbirding

The juvenile Great Spotted Woodpecker visited the garden bin lid bird bath for a wash yesterday. You can see the red cap on the top of the head is starting to fade and revealing that she is a young female as the males have a red patch of feathers on the back of their neck. :-)

The Red-throated diver was pretty close to #Ramsgate westcliff at high tide yesterday morning. It must have drifted into #Pegwell Bay as I picked it up again at the mouth of the river at the nature reserve later on. 🙂 #Kentbirding

The very high tide meant that many small mammals were on the menu for Kestrels, Buzzards and Crows.
