Chart of Arctic Skua peak daily counts
The Big Kent Bird Migration Day is this Saturday - KOS member Andrew Henderson's archive analysis suggests we will be in peak period for Arctic Skua passage. The best places to see them are around the coast, such as Shellness, Thanet or Dungeness when strong NW winds push birds down the North Sea.
