Trip Report

One week on and I was back at Dungeness, this time with the East Grinstead RSPB Group.  We saw 66 bird species, with obviously lots of overlap with the week before.

However, there were a couple of new sightings of note:-

• this time the little stints were showing well on one of the islands on the ARC Pit - too far to get a decent photograph but very easily picked up in the telescope.
• by way of a bonus, a friendly birder in the hide directed us to a first winter Caspian gull.

• the black redstart was still there - again, on the boundary fence of the power station.

 

 

A repeat visit but one that was well worth the effort.

 

  Year total = 210
