Dover for Glaucous Gull.

We arrive in Dover  in search  of a Glaucous Gull & park up by the pier, we are only on the pier a few minutes & the Gull is spotted sitting with a lot of other Gulls, it sticks out from the others & is very easy to spot.
Some well placed bread brings the Gull into the air & flies along the pier in front of us, a good year tick & Brian & Jimmy get some really good photos of the Gull.
Also seen from the pier a purple Sandpiper & a couple of Shag to give us two more ticks for the year.
A look in at Oare marsh is not to productive with the water level very high & hardly anybody there.
So with very little bird activity we head to Elmley to finish the trip off with a drive we hope with a few photos.
We don't expect to see any more ticks here but we do get lucky as we arrive, when in the field by the entrance a couple of Grey Partridge give us one more tick.
We drive down to the farm & then back up the track stopping to get a few shots of some of the usual birds that we see here.
