Never tire of finding these sprites, geographically it makes perfect sense, being the third Pallas’ Warbler I’ve found at King George Park in three years! Other standouts included a high count of 11 Firecrests ebird.org/checklist/S4... #kentbirding #PWC2026

Thanks to a tip-off from Scott @scottbirder.bsky.social I went down to see the Long-tailed duck in a very cold and blustery #Ramsgate port turning circle this morning. 🙂 #Kentbirding

Dengemarsh Gully, Dungeness 03.11.26 - the best picture that I could manage in the cold north east wind, of the Isabelline Wheatear found in the gully by Paul Trodd.
An unexpected lifer, on a miserable day weather wise.

Strong easterlies producing decent variety with 57 White-fronted Geese, Sooty Shearwater, Long-tailed Duck, Short-eared Owl in-off and four lovely Snow Buntings, one of which favoured under the cliff. Mostly all welcome #PWC2026 additions at King George Park #kentbirding @kentishplover.bsky.social

It's been exactly 30 years since the last (and only) Kent Izzy Wheatear. I was too young to drive then & relied on lifts to see birds - so I've been eagerly awaiting the next one. Finally it happened & after much searching over a huge area it was relocated & showed distantly #kentbirding #ukbirding

A decent day with a few bits, mostly thrushes and finches, coming in throughout the day. The best being 3 Woodlark and a Lapland Bunting west while 2 Woodcock, a Siberian Chiffchaff, 9 Firecrest and 2 Hawfinch (briefly in Trapping Area before flying north) were also recorded. #kentbirding

2 highlights @sandwichbirdobs.bsky.social. Friday's Snow Bunting (1CY male, perhaps a little too confiding for it's own good) at the raised tee on Cinque Ports GC & today's vocal Siberian Chiffchaff; no hint of green on body & edges of flight feathers plus 'tobacco-stained' ear-coverts👍 #KentBirding

4 Dartford Warblers on Point
3 Woodlarks over and a gorgeous Siberian Chiffchaff in SW corner of Trapping Area

October across the wider Dungeness recording area had 6 new species for the year although felt quiet - a Black Kite and a Ring-necked Duck the standouts
Lapland Bunting, Leach’s Petrel +Hawfinch are worth a mention
The 2026 total is now on 243 which surpasses any of the last 7 years
