WELLIES NEEDED

Having not been out much in kent in the last couple of weeks and working most of the christmas break,i headed out yesterday to dover to see what is lurking about,the female eider is still in the docks hiding up the top by the cement works,very guillis floating about with this i spent the next 2 hours watching the harbour entrance,with a single red throat past east and plenty of auks,then i pick up a whitish auk flying quite low to the surface of the sea,it was not as large as the guillimots that where  flying by,tip to tail it was whitish with a white under wing,i knew what it was as i have seen these before in flight on my many trips up north,a black guillimot heading east,great kent tick for me.
SUNDAY
