A green sandpiper flew from the scrapes near Boulderwall Farm towards ARC, Dungenes this morning. My first for this year.

This morning a typical Pomarine Skua sea watch, long period of very little to see then a flock appears, but they are well worth waiting for as they cruise by with languid wingbeats that ooze power. 3 Temminck's Stints at Boulderwall & the 1st Garganey on the reserve with Yellow-Billed Pintail?

Dungeness: After several days of intense sea watching, I spent today around the reserve. A Temminck's Stint on Boulderwall but very distant was probably the highlight, first Glossy Ibis and Wood Sandpiper of the year on the peninsula, good to see Lapwings doing well on Boulderwall.

A windswept Great White Egret Ardea alba at the new diggings at Boulderwall at #RSPBDungeness at the weekend. A frequent visitor but surely it is just a matter of time before it becomes a resident breeder.
