Dungeness

There was evidence of heavy showers as I made my way to Dungeness this morning but the day stayed dry but cold with a northerly wind. There was little reported from the area so we went to the RSPB reserve, stopping at the south end of ARC where there were a few Little Gulls in amongst the other gulls but no Gargeney or
hirundines.
The reserve was quiet so we returned to the screen hide and scanned round, seeing only one Grey Heron, one Marsh Harrier and 7 Swallows. Walking back to the car we heard Cetti's, a Reed and a Sedge Warbler.
We stopped at the ARC again where there were 6 Little Egrets feeding along the edges.

just as we were leaving, a young badger popped up and kept us entertained for nearly an hour.














On our way back to the obs we stopped off to look at an earthstar which had gone over but was still identifiable as Collared Earthstar.
