We just had a couple hundred raptors total over the last two hours while Hawk watching from near Wheatley Harbour, including one Northern Goshawk and two Golden Eagles in the last hour (one of the Golden Eagles just flew over a few mins ago). They're likely over the county now, in case anyone wants to look for them or just to do some quality hawk watching.
A Cattle Egret flew over us while we were there, seemingly landing somewhere in or near the harbour, but we've lost track of it. Wheatley Harbour is a couple kilometres due south of the centre of Wheatley, at the border of Essex and Kent Counties. Good birding!
