After work walk to Hothfield Waterfall Lake today was noteworthy though as a Cetti’s Warbler called & sung briefly. A new species for the site (wonder if it is the Singleton Lake 2-day bird that has gone AWOL), next stop for it, Eastwell ??? Also a pair of Gadwall & at least 4 Teal. #patchbirding

Per other Kent birders “left at 16:10 and it was still on the sea wall”. Good luck tomorrow 👍.

Moved on to Westbrook and the Sunken Garden where the Dusky Warbler showed and called well in both the garden and at the bottom of the cliff by the beach huts. Goldcrest & Stonechats also noted.
