French Green Ringed RAA1
This morning I was chauffeured to Copt Point by AJG, where we spent a couple of hours in perfect weather conditions in the company of c350 Mediterranean Gulls. We managed to read 25 Rings mainly Belgian and French, but also 2 German and a British ring.

Juvenile Rock Pipit
Walking back to the car we came across a family of Rock Pipits, a bird I rarely see at Dungeness.
Adult Rock Pipit
Whilst i saw sorting through the moth trap at lunchtime OL called to say Sam had found a Wood Warbler in the Sallows in The Moat, not a bird you can guarantee to see at Dungeness every year. Eventually I did get several good views of it in the top of the Sallows but no chance of a snap of it.
Black Redstart at Galloways very early morning, Little Owl was also there today.
