The Juvenile Pallid Harrier continues to be the star attraction at Dungeness, its appearances seem to be around 09.00 in the morning and seems quite reliable between 15.00-16.00 in the afternoon viewed from the Denge Marsh Chicken Sheds. This morning 100s of House Martins were feeding over Lydd Fields. Elsewhere on the reserve the 3 Glossy Ibis are still present along with the Egrets, Bitterns are only being seen occasionally and even Bearded Tits are few and far between, a few Chiffchaffs and Blackcaps can be found but the Thrushes still haven't reached here, hopefully in the next few days this will happen and the sea will hopefully be more productive. A Black-necked Grebe is still on Scotney viewed from the double bends.
I was stupidly on the wrong side of a bush as the juvenile Pallid Harrier came across the field and over
