 Little Gull hawking over Dengemarsh this morning
It was nice to see the first returning Sand Martins today and the first Little Gull for a few weeks. No sign of any Cattle Egrets today but at least 2 Great White Egrets were present, also 2 Hobbys and the usual Warblers, a Bittern made some half hearted grunts but otherwise it was fairly quiet. This evening I visited the ARC where I came across a Black-winged Stilt which was happily feeding until flushed by a Marsh Harrier and last seen heading high west. Hopefully I will get round to counting the usual summer build up of Pochard as there are already several 100s present.
The first Sand Martin of hopefully many 1,000s to be seen around Dungeness the next few weeks
