@42jonski4071 @RSPBEngland @Natures_Voice @KentWildlife Rook's gular pouch can show when the bird has been feeding something like a "crop" in other in other birds ( but not low as in a crop) a Rooks pouch is high in its throat. Both male and female Rooks have one it is quite normal .

Nicky and I have been trapping recording and releasing some of the moths in our garden and we have had some pleasant surprises best to date being Small marbled ,Blairs Mocha and last night Marbled fern . A far better start than we could have hoped for .

Superb days birding Nicky and I went to see the Spotted Crake at Sandwich, showed well but distant not many birders there but very good company . Then on to St Margaret's a bit of a wait for the 3 Dotterel and they offered great views. There are 3 Dotterel in the last image

Nicky and I had just retuned to the Dungeness RSPB visitor center after a walk when it was mentioned that a man had seen a Night heron on the reserve Thank you ! We put the word out and Nicky soon re-found the bird very obliging for a Night heron .These images only took 5 hours😀
