A windy Dungeness!

Highlights at The Patch this morning were 5 Mediterranean Gulls (2 x 1s + 2 x 2s + 1 ad) and  c40 Common Terns.  Offshore 50 Common Scoter flew east, also a 8 Gannets.

 A stroll round to Dengemarsh from Springfield Bridge found the Glossy Ibis dropping into Hayfield 3, also an eclipse drake Garganey, Black-tailed Godwit there and 100s of Swifts. From Dengemarsh the bittern was booming regularly and a couple of Hobby's could be seen.

 Kamikaze Glossy Ibis!

A cycle ride to very windy Scotney saw 27 Avocets around the complex including 7 young, 3 Egyptian Geese, 8 Yellow Wagtails and 9 Corn Buntings of note.

This evening the Glossy Ibis had relocated to Hayfield 1 and still many Swifts hawking over the fields.
