Dartford Warblers!

The sea was very quiet this morning, with a few Gannets, Sandwich Terns and Auks, 3 Red-throated Divers and a Black-throated Diver per AJG.

The highlight of a wander around the trapping area and Desert was a party of 5 Bullfinch (very scarce at Dungeness), around The Point 3 Dartford Warblers and a late Swallow.

I was lucky enough to be able to spend an hour photographing the Dartford Warblers in superb light and on my own. It seems that there are at least 6 Dartford Warblers on the peninsular per RW.

1w Caspian Gull

At the fishing boats this afternoon a 1w Caspian Gull made a brief and distant appearance, snubbing the Gull boys offerings.
