Saturday dawned clear and with a high expectation of the possibility of migration. The drive across the marsh was lovely but very quiet.
Tuesday. The drive down to dungeness was very pleasant but only saw 2 Yellow Wagtails and a Marsh Harrier. Not a lot of activity but news of a Pied Flycatcher up the top Long Pits had us stomping up through the trapping area, where we saw Peacock and Comma butterflies, a few Willow Warblers and Chiffs with singing Whitethroat and Lesser Whitethroat as we went. The flycatcher was Ian sheltered area half way up the top long pit and gave great views as it moved up and down the bushes, dropping onto the ground every now and then.
