A brilliant days birding at Dungeness!

Grasshopper Warbler. Thanks to DW for posing with the bird.

 A superb day started at the Lighthouse garden with a Spotted Flycatcher (first of 22), Pied Flycatcher(first of 28), Willow Warbler and Chiffchaff. A walk into the desert was curtailed when
 DW and OL caught in a Grasshopper Warbler and a Pied Flycatcher in the trapping area along some Phyloscs and Sylvia's. On the way back to the observatory I saw another Pied Flycatcher and DW heard more  OL bought in another Pied Flycatcher from the Heligoland trap(at least 9 were trapped today) and another was in the Moat Sallows.
With BM I walked back to the lighthouse garden seeing another Pied Fly near West beach along with more Phyloscs, by the red and white gates 5 Whinchats could be seen. I then went to The Patch seeing 3 more Pied Flys (8) on the razor wire, along with 3 more Phyloscs, 2 Wheatears and a Clouded Yellow. At The Patch just the usual Gulls and Terns.
Walking back to the observatory there was another Pied Fly in the experimental station and a Redstart, at West beach another Redstart and a Black Redstart and another Pied Fly in The Moat and 3 Whinchats on the fence.
The North end of the Long Pits held another 4 Pied Flycatchers(14), 16 Spotted Flycatchers and many Sylvia's and Phyloscs.
Dengemarsh Gully held another 5 Pied Flycatchers, with another on the watch tower at the bottom and 1 out on Penn Bar (21). Also around the Gully c20 Yellow Wagtails, 8 Wheatears, 6 Whinchats, 2 Redstarts and more Sylvia's and Phyloscs.
At Galloways another Pied Fly by the sea on the fort along with 4 Wheatears, another Pied fly in the Elder by the gate along with a Spotted flycatcher, another Pied Fly by the brick wall(24). 10 more Whinchats and 6 more Wheatears there. A walk along the Galloways bridal path opposite Brett's Marina produced another 4 Pied Flycatchers(28), 2 Spotted Flycatchers, a Redstart, 2 Whinchats and 2 Wheatears and yet more Sylvia's and Phyloscs. A huge gathering of Hirundines (c2,000 but probably more) over the Marina and Dengemarsh contained at least 2 Swifts.
The Pied flycatchers I saw were probably just a small part of the real total on the peninsular, as so much land is inaccessible and I ran out of time.
