Norfolk Hawker at Dengemarsh this afternoon

A thoroughly miserable day with constant rain or drizzle with very low cloud all day. A male Marsh Harrier quartering the Rape field in front the house was my highlight, though a lovely male Pied Wagtail collecting food from the garden was a close second as it is a bird I have very rarely seen actually in the garden. The only news was a single Common Sandpiper on Burrowes per PT who was brave enough to walk round the reserve getting a soaking for his trouble. If the hides were open at Dungeness RSPB as seems to be the case every where else I would have ventured down to the reserve to observe the avian comings and going's.
The image above shows the known history of orange colour ringed Lesser Black-backed Gull that was in the Gull roost by the entrance track to the VC on Friday 25/06/202. It appears to spend most winters in Malaga Harbour.

Marsh Warbler
Its fairly quiet around Dungeness at the moment, though there is still plenty to see. The Glossy Ibis is still showing well on the ARC. Around the reserve plenty of Bearded Tits, occasional sightings of the Bitterns, lots of Reed, Sedge and Cetti's warblers and plenty of scruffy moulting wildfowl.
