Goldeneye feeding along the ice shelf from Hanson
The cold weather doesn't seem to have instigated much in the way of cold weather movements at Dungeness, a thrash around today found no Woodcock or Jack Snipe and only a handful of Common Snipe. Skylarks, Reed Buntings and Linnets are all virtually non existent here at the moment, I've seen more Firecrests than Larks.
There are still a few White-fronted Geese around but apparently no Tundra Bean Geese.
A male HEn Harrier was seen at the back of Scotney per CT and the Little Stint was still at Flat Pit per OL. The Great Northen Diver was still on Burrowes late this afternoon.
Common Buzzard ARC
Bearded Tits at the ARC this morning

Whooper Swan with Bewick Swans opposite Cockles Bridge late morning
Knot at Greatstone this afternoon
Lesser Whitethroat still in the garden today
