Back at Dungeness

I've been sea watching in Spain at Estaca de Bares for the last 2 weeks, hopefully I will get round to doing a post on the trip.
A slightly out of focus Siberian Chiffchaff that was trapped and and ringed at the observatory yesterday along with many Chiffchaffs and Blackcaps.
1 of several Red-throated Divers currently feeding close inshore at the fishing boats, along with some Auks, Sandwich Terns, Arctic Skuas and Gannets. This morning at least 2 Balearic Shearwaters flew West along with a few Brent Geese, on the beach at least one Caspian Gull came to bread. 
A couple of Glossy ibis on Dengemarsh, where there were 11 Cattle egrets and a Spoonbill yesterday.
