It seemed very few new migrants arrived at Dungeness today. Around the reserve a Garganey was eleusive at Cooks pool, also 7 Cattle Egrets there, 6 Avocet, a Black-tailed Godwit and a Greenshank on the hayfields with another at Scotney. The Great Northern Diver was anchored to its usual spot in the middle of Burrowes, also there appears to be more Reed and Sedge Warblers around as well as both the Whitethroat species.
