Oops! Concrete and lenses don’t mix. Think this will be expensive.

Dungeness: Lovely to watch this Woodcock come in off the sea at 09.24 then land in front of the sea watch hide exhausted, it was still resting in the same spot at 12.30.

Dungeness: This evening's Starling roost at the ARC.

Dungeness: 3 Yellow-browed Warblers today, also 2 Siberian Chiffchaffs but rarest of all today on the peninsula was a Bullfinch it is certainly the first I have seen at Dungeness this year. Many thanks to @tom_wright16 of the DBO for the calls and messages.

Musotima nitidalis by the trap was the highlight of garnish’s catch 42 of 8. 3 S B Straws, 2 vitrealis & the usual Black Rustics.

Early afternoon bike ride to Scotney GP was quite productive. 2 Black-necked Grebes, 2 Green Sandpipers, a Little Owl and another Dartford Warbler, also 100s of Lapwing, Golden Plover and Wigeon, 5 Marsh Harriers also 3 Barnacle Geese the first I have seen since last Winter.

Dungeness: This mornings Leach's Petrel that flew West past the fishing boats.

I know it is probably from the IOW introduction scheme as it is sporting a backpack, but it is still a magnificent beast @RoyDennisWF Seen for a few minutes at Scotney Gravel Pits, just outside of Lydd, Kent this morning with @BenendenKent

Dungeness. The Sycamore that has hosted several Short-toed Treecreepers, Pallas’s, Yellow Browed and Melodious Warblers to name a few has been cut down. 😢
