4 Bewick Swans which presumably roosted on the ARC flew over Dungeness Road as drove towards the beach this morning. A later visit to the ARC where apart from the Ibis and a Great White Egret very little was noted, Over the road on the reserve 3 Great Northern Divers and the Black-throated Divers were still insitu on Burrowes, also 4 Goldeneye.
