Dungeness - mild, cloudy, light airs - We spent another morning birding Lade and Kerton Road followed by a trudge along the beach either side of the fishing boats checking for the elusive Glaucous Gull. There was little happening on the sea apart from a few Gannets and large gulls feeding offshore, plus a party of nine east-bound Brent Geese. We wandered over to the bushes around the lighthouses, where there was nothing of note, and onto the Obs for a natter. After a short wait the Hume`s Warbler showed in the front gardens of the cottages and then into the Obs garden where several of us enjoyed some good views of this stripy, sprite (complete with shiny leg iron) over a 15 minute period before it flew towards the moat. Unusually, for this species it did not call once. The only other noteworthy was a Peregrine flying onto a pylon with prey.
