38 Black-tailed Godwits on the flood behind Dengemarsh Hide, a good count for Dungeness
Black-tailed Godwits dropping in Saturday evening, also 3 Avocet and a Whimbrel unsurprisingly they were all gone Sunday morning.
As the strong cool northerlies continue birding around the peninsula is not productive, the Purple Heron showed a couple of times yesterday but I din't believe it has been seen today, Bitterns are still booming, Bearded Tits, Cetti's Sedge and Reed Warblers can all be seen and heard with patience, Lesser Whitethroats seem to out number Common Whitethroats, top to 6 Hobbys have seen, quite low numbers for here. A single drake Garganey has been frequenting the hay fields but very elusive, also a Cattle Egret has returned. On Burrowes 3 Common Sandpipers and the odd Turnstone. The ARC has been disappointing but it looks as though this dry windy weather will reveal islands in the next couple of weeks, highlight there for me were a pair of Bearded Tits by Hanson Hide.
Several Swifts have been hawking over the reserve the last few days
Nice to see the Herring Gulls have their own security cameras😆
