Juvenile Kittiwake from the fishing boats yesterday
I joined RW in the sea watch hide this morning, many thanks to him for collating the numbers:
06.30-09.00
Common Scoter: 28W 1E
Great-crested Grebe: 1E
Fulmar: 3W
Balearic Shearwater: 1W
Gannet: 132W 2E
Cormorant: 6W
Grey Plover: 2W
Kittiwake: 49W
Sandwich tern: 11W 1E
Commic Tern: 2W
Swift: 1In
Swallow: 2 out
While we were in the sea watch hide we were joined by a very amiable chap from Southend whom we have never seen before, while chatting and without any prompting from us he said that Dungeness RSPB was a miserable place, looking neglected and disappointing since his last visit a good number of years ago and that's from a visitor.
A wander around the trapping area with RW and JTM saw/heard 25+ Willow Warblers, Common Whitethroats, Reed Warbler and Sparrowhawk.
