I visited Dungeness today with my good lady and before we'd got out of the car she'd found a cracking
Black Redstart which gave me a nice opportunity to grab one or two shots as it sat on the sea wall next to the car park. We made the short walk to the hide and enjoyed a bit of a sea watch as Suzanne sheltered from the wind and Tia (the dog) enjoyed a run on the shingle. At sea we found a few Porpoise and Great Crested Grebes and watched as Brent Geese flew east and a both
Sandwich and Common Tern flew towards the patch.

A walk around the moat and lighthouse garden delivered Chiffchaff and Willow Warbler and another two Black Redstart. Back at the reserve and we had a couple of
Swallows and
Sedge Warbler before a Raven came close along the Gully in Denemarsh Road. We then drove across to Reculver where we enjoyed good views of four
Ring Ouzels in the old caravan park.

A brief drive along the track at Elmley resulted in the usual birds along with a single Snipe.

A nice day out with my girls and six year ticks to boot.
