Rosy Starling & Black-winged Stilts!

Barn Owl by the entrance track to VC Thursday
Hobby over the ramp Thursday
Turtle Dove, Dengemarsh Thursday
Rosy Starling Thursday evening behind the Corrall, it took me most of the day to find it. 
 Dungeness first for me, not a single bird over The Patch this morning!
After visiting an avian free Patch this morning seeing of note just a single Swallow resting on the power station fence, I went to the reserve where the Avocets were still in front of Firth but little else. From the ramp 3+ Hobby's a family of Bearded Tits but no sign of yesterdays Rosy Starling. Apart from another Bee-eater seen by a lucky few, me not included the peninsular was very quiet.
A visit to The Midrips this afternoon however provided an unexpected bonus in the form of 2 Black-winged Stilts, most of the locals managed to see them despite the difficulties gaining access to this site. Also there 14 Avocets, a Whimbrel, several Mediterranean Gulls, and a couple of broods of Shelducklings.
