As I had to visit Canterbury Hospital this morningI thought I'd go to Grove ferry afterwards, when I left the hospital I only got as far as the roundabout by the city walls before I'd had enough of the traffic and headed straight back to Dungeness, I feel sorry for anyone who regularly use that Road.
As I made my way back to Dungeness I received news of a Wood Warbler the top of the Long pits. On arrival a Grasshopper Warbler was singing there and did so on and off for most of the afternoon, the Wood Warbler was singing but was now very showy. In the lighthouse garden a Pied Flycatcher and a Spotted Flycatcher and a Garden Warbler, as the garden is so overgrown viewing was difficult.
Pied Flycatcher
Spotted Flycatcher
I went back to the top end of the Long Pits where the Wood warbler was still showing and the Grasshopper Warbler was still reeling, being joined by another Spotted flycatcher and a couple more Garden Warblers.
Despite my best efforts I completely messed up the image of the superb Wood Warbler😅
