It can only get better!

 An abysmal weekend birding wise at Dungeness in the cold strong West to North West winds. Even sea watching which should be good at this time of year was abysmal, the highlight being a flock of 16 Manx Shearwaters Saturday morning. Todays early morning sea watch figures listed below show how bad today was.

Swifts arrived this weekend along with Hobby's, but wader passage has been poor. On Burrowes this morning 16 Dunlin, 4 Bar-tailed Godwits, 2 Little Ringed Plovers, 5 Ringed Plovers and a Garganey. On Boulderwall fields 6 Whimbrel and a Curlew, the remaining Cattle Egret is still around the Hay Fields.
A Serin spent the afternoon in the lighthouse area but was flighty and disappeared for long periods, Black Redstart, Stonechats and Peregrines were also to be seen in this area.   

 Not my best ever image of a Serin!
