Only 2 kites (one tagged white-blue) at the tip today -maybe all the refuse has been capped too well for the long weekend to allow access by kites and gulls? Bird scarers also going off today and kites not settling. One raven was the only highlight on a grey dull morning.

By the way, I have seen kite white-blue E9 on four occasions since 27 November - the bird was tagged in Northants in June 2010. Haven't seen white-blue 86 before.

Glad you got grey wagtail - missing from SK92 to date

Vin

All records entered as atlas rovering records, so grey wagtail is now in the system...
