PALLID SWIFT AT FORENESS POINT


It felt like a good morning to be out today and with yesterday's Pallid Swift at Foreness I hoped that another would arrive today or maybe a Red-Rumped in with the Swallows or even a Desert Wheatear bouncing around on the pitch and putt that was.A good start to the morning came in the form of the first tweet from Barry was a Woodlark over and I was soon at Foreness just before 9.00 a,m.Within five minutes a Swift sp. became a clear Pallid and the rest is history.Alan arrived as did a sprinting Chiddy and Martyn soon behind.Over the next  hour we were treated to some spectacular views of  a "Lifer" for Martyn, Mark and myself.At one stage the bird was only 10 feet over our heads and winked at Martyn.More people were arriving when I left to enjoy this Kent mega.
