Day out in Boulogne
Family day trip to Calais/Boulogne. We spent an hour walking round some woodland near Boulogne before heading for the beach. Not much around in the heat but it was nice to catch up with birds like Short-toed Treecreeper, Crested Tit,.etc. We've also managed to see Honey Buzzard and Black Kite during the day. In the harbour the Kittiwake colony was still very busy and a number of Med Gulls were flying about.

3 Skua Day
Good day today - got down the bay at 6:30. Nige was already there and within the next 30 min we got treated to good views of a total of 12 Pomarine Skuas. Other birds during a three hour seawatch included a few Artic Skuas, a Bonxie, a Manx Shearwater, 5 Velvet Scoter and 2 Great Nothern Divers. Shame we missed the Long-tailed Skua that had been seen flying past Dungeness early morning. Otherwise a few migrants in the area including Tree Pipit, Ring Ouzel, Yellow Wagtail and 2 Wheatears.
