Yesterday, I made the trip to Dungeness for the Crested Lark (the first UK record for 13 yrs!). I only got flight views and 'twitching' isn't really my thing, but this was a mega and only just over an hour away, so it was worth the trip. I had a quick seawatch afterwards and saw lots of Common Terns, a Red-throated Diver and two Arctic Skuas past.
