I was out and about in Kent today (finding lots of good birds on our reserve at Dungeness as it happens) and was very pleased to get a call from Smiffy and Andy Tweed to say that the Glossy Ibis was back at Rainham and happily probing around the Target Pools.
Its stayed a couple of hours before heading off east but not before a few more people caught up with it, including Russ Sherriff who got some good shots.
With any luck it will come back again tomorrow morning.
...and as a footnote to today I found eight more Glossy Ibises today heading west over the M20 on my home this evening...... simply amazing!
