I get one more tick today when we make the trip to Petts Levels & pick out the Glossy Ibis walking about amongst a large group of Coots, a nice easy tick as we see the bird within a few minutes of arrival. We have dipped a couple of times looking for a sight of the one at Wat Tyler so this makes up for missing out on that one.
After spending a good couple hours watching the Ibis we head off to see the Long-eared Owl at Dungeness. We find the Owl at the back of dipping pool sitting not to far into the bushes, so I get a record shot of the bird.
Walking down to the hide we see a second winter Caspian Gull, this is a bit far out on the scrape for me to get any photo of it.I don't need either the Owl or the Caspian for a year tick but always nice to see them.
A quick look up by the fishing boats on the beach for a scan of the sea is not very productive with only a few Guillemot & a gannet & a few Grebe but nothing that we needed.

On the way back a flock of Gulls are seen & we pick out a first winter Caspian & that is near enough for a photo.
