29/12/2016 Siberian Stonechat at Dungeness

Thursday 29 December 2016
Kerton Road, Dungeness

A grey stonechat has been in residence at Kerton Road, Dungeness since November.  I have resisted attempts to go and see it until more information was forthcoming.  DNA tests on it's pooh have now shown it to be a Snejneder's Stonechat - a member of the Siberian Stonechat family.  With this in mind, I finally made the trip early this morning.


  • Thankfully the bird was showing well as I got there, with terrific views of it on the fence, on top of the low bushes and on the ground.

Addition to BUBO 2016 UK Bird List:
Siberian Stonechat   (263)



I had no luck at Newhaven Tidemills on the way home, in an hour long search for the Serin.
