RSPB Dungeness
Makepeace Hide
I went down to RSPB Dungeness for the Gull Roost on Burrowes Pit after reading about some astonishing numbers of Caspian Gulls there yesterday. I made my way to Makepeace Hide to join Plodding Birder and another excellent local birder. For the next hour I was privileged to witness a truly memorable birding event.
- When I arrived several Caspian Gulls were already showing well on the islands in front of us. After that they just kept on coming until finally the count reached 17+ - smashing yesterdays record total!

- One of the birds had a ring on its leg - 008:U ringed in the Czech Republic!

- There were also good numbers of Yellow-legged Gulls (8+) including several adults.
Awe and wonder moments!
