30/01/2018 Bewick's Swans at Dungeness

Tuesday 30 January 2018


Went to Dungeness again today - in search of the Bewick's Swans. Called in at Scotney on the way down. 

Scotney

  • Saw 100+ Barnacle Geese from the double bend.
  • Walked out through the farm on to Walland Marsh but did not see the Bewick's.

  • The Bewick's were already there when I arrived - 21 in all on the opposite side of the water, near the tower.  They looked majestic in the evening sun.
  • Around sunset a Bittern took flight from the reeds by the swans - presumably going off to roost.

Well worth the second visit.
