The first of this years juvenile Yellow-legged Gulls at The Patch
Dungeness is relatively quiet avian wise at the moment. Most avian interest seems to be at the ARC where 5 Glossy Ibis are in residence, 5 Cattle Egrets including a juvenile, 2+ Great white Egrets, upon to 5 Little Ringed Plovers, 2 Common Sandpipers, a trickle of Dunlin, Greenshanks, Black-tailed Godwits. Up to 1,000 Black-headed Gulls with up to 30 Mediterranean Gulls have coming to roost, also at least 2 Garganey among the eclipse wildfowl.
