Wildlife at Dungeness.

Hello 

A Marsh Harrier was in the vicinity of Lamport Hall this morning before moving off towards Pitsford Reservoir and the Spotted Flycatcher flock amounted to eight birds.

At Pitsford Reservoir today the male Common Redstart was in the field hedge again next to the Scaldwell Bay in the vicinity of the Paul Britten bench and other birds included the two drake Red-crested Pochard and a Green Sandpiper.

Birds at Earls Barton Pits were made up of a Dunlin and a Great White Egret at Summer Leys and a Common Sandpiper and a Little Ringed Plover at New Workings North.

A Sanderling was still on the Guilsborough Bay Point at Hollowell Reservoir this morning and a Crossbill was calling in flight over Denton Wood, Yardley Hastings.

Stanford Reservoir continues to host a Garganey and there was also an Osprey and a Common Sandpiper.

I am currently down at Dungeness where Jacob is completing a stint as Assistant Warden at the Bird Observatory and we are enjoying some of the local wildlife too!
