A lovely calm morning today, no birds in the bushes but a few bits flying over the patch. The best of all was a flock of 8
Bramblings that landed in Harry's Bush bringing their total for the morning to 11.
The first
Bullfinch for some time flew over along with 7
Siskins, 2
Reed Buntings, ca. 180
Woodpigeons and a
Grey Plover in the Cuckmere. A few
Goldcrests were also scattered about.
Great Spotted Woodpecker in Hope Gap. After this i dashed off to Dungeness RSPB for the
RED-FLANKED BLUETAIL. It was on view straight away but was distant, however with a bit of patience good views were obtained along the Denge Marsh Road just beyond the entrance to Springfield Bridge. Also present was a
Great White Egret and a fem.
Marsh Harrier.
