Posing Goldcrest
I forced myself out into the horrible biting east wind today in my desperate search for a Smew and Goosander at Dungeness this winter. I walked around every lake on the reserve failing to find any, the best I could find was a few Goldeneye and the Black-throated Diver. The Glossy Ibis was still at the top end of Cooks Pool, also 5 Ruff there, but no sign of any White-fronted Geese today. The scrub was very quiet, just the odd roaming Tit flock with a few Goldcrest and a couple of Chiffchaffs. By Midday the drizzle had set in and with the biting east wind making a thoroughly miserable afternoon.
