Eclipse drake Garganey at the ARC from Hanson Hide
Avian wise Dungeness is very quiet, Hobbys can be seen at the ARC and Dengemarsh, there are still a couple of Garganey present, a single Cattle Egret, 2+ Great White Egrets, several each of Little Ringed Plovers and Ringed Plovers and maybe up to 5 pairs of Common Terns, along with the usual Marsh Harriers and wildfowl. AS usual this time of year there are many 100s of Sand martins moving through the peninsula.
