Berts Folly at the end of the Willow Trail
Typically for the end of January a week of cold grey days, with very little hints of at the soon to come spring. The birds that were around Dungeness this time last week are the same this week. The Bewick and Whooper Swans are still in their chosen feeding areas as are the Egrets and Ibis's. I did a circuit of the reserve this afternoon seeing the resident Marsh Harriers and Great White Egrets, while hearing Cetti's warblers and Water Rails. The Hay Fields were virtually avian free apart from a a few Pied Wagtails, Meadow Pipits and Reed Buntings though I did get a brief view of a Stoat disappearing into a reed bed. The lakes held a couple of Goldeneye of any note at all.
