Mild, cloudy, showery, E2 - A muggy weekend with occasional heavy showers and rumbles of thunder produced very little of note around the New Romney farmland, apart from Sunday morning when a heavy passage of hirundines moved south, mostly Swallows, that was also recorded at the point. The poplars beside the Hope Lane stables attracted swarms of hirundines feeding and perched amongst the tree-tops and it was inevitable that when a Hobby put in an appearance, they scattered skywards. In the hedgerows a few Chiffchaffs and Blackcaps were present, plus several Meadow Pipits, Skylarks and Stonechats along the field margins. On Friday we had a long wander around Dungeness with very little to report. Called in at ARC where the entrance track to the car park has now been repaired and a mirror positioned at the junction with the Lydd Road to aid with pulling out safely.
