Dungeness - cool, cloudy, light airs - A much cooler day than of late with the wind out of the north coming and going. A circuit of the bushes at the point delivered very little in the way of migrants with Chiffchaff, Goldfinch and Robin numbers well down on my last visit; infact, four Swallows, a Goldcrest in the moat, a Grey Plover over calling and a scattering of Mipits and Skylarks in the desert was about it. Around the power station a pair of Ravens provided great entertainment as they tussled with a Peregrine, while offshore up to 100 Gannets were feeding on (presumably) mackerel, judging from the number of anglers along the beach.
The bird reserve and Lade pits were also quiet with just a Black-necked Grebe and a Black Tern of note on Burrowes. There was no news on the recent Whooper Swans.
