30/08/2018 Cattle Egrets.

Thursday 30 August 2018
Pett Level then RSPB Dungeness NR

There were reports on RBA of significant arrivals of Cattle Egrets at Pett Level and at RSPB Dungeness, so I took the opportunity to look for them this afternoon.

  • There was no sign of them at Pett Level when I arrived and a local birder told me they had been seen flying away east.
  • I then decided to head for Dungeness where I was able to get good views of at least 4 of them.  They were among the cattle in the fields between Boulderwall Farm and the Visitor Centre.  At least 11 had been seen earlier - a reserve record apparently.

Short and Sweet!
