The drive down to Dungeness across the Marsh was very wet with shallow areas of flooding on many parts of the road. The fields around Fairfield church had lots of pools as did many of the fields. At Baynham Farm the feeders held a few Blue Tits, Great Tits, Tree and House Sparrows with 2 Moorhens and a dozen Chaffinch in the feeder cage, otherwise there was little birdlife other than the Bewick's Swans from Caldecott Lane.
The water levels are so high now that many of the dykes and sewers and the moat and desert are flooding.
After a quick drink I worked my way back across the marsh first stopping at ARC both the south end and the Hanson hide. No sign of the black-throated diver but a Great White Egret, quite a few Goldeneye, lots of other ducks and a pair of Marsh Harrier.
