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: 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: Some of the at least 8 Dartford Warblers I saw around the peninsular in the glorious sunshine one the fog lifted.
