Dungeness
Spent the morning at Dungeness. The weather was wetter sooner than expected so conditions were not great. I bumped into Andrew early on and we went round together.
Although my species list only reached the mid-thirties, there are some really good birds on it.
- Pride of place went to the Long-eared Owl which showed splendidly at the dipping pool by the visitor's centre.
- The Ring-necked Duck showed well on Cook's Pool at Boulderwall Farm.
- Andrew picked up on the Slavonian Grebe on Burrowes from Dennis's Hide.
- On Walland Marsh the 29 Bewick Swans showed well.
- Other interesting sightings included a redhead Smew on Burrowes, a drake Goosander at ARC several Goldeneye and, of course, plenty of Tree Sparrows at the feeders on Walland Marsh.
We were so pleased to see some rare birds today after missing out on the Steineger's Stonechat and the Caspian Gull at the start of our visit!
