Dungeness - cold, overcast, NE2 - A grim, misty morning for our Ted walk around the peninsula where a brief burst of song from a Sedge Warbler at the top end of Long Pits was our first of the year and where OL had a Hawfinch earlier. The Trapping Area was largely quiet apart from a flock of six Redwings in the north-west corner along with a few Chaffinches, singing Chiffchaffs and Reed Buntings, a Blackcap and a cracking male Brambling. Lade was pretty much the same as last Friday apart from an increase to seven Goldeneyes on south lake.
Over the weekend Ted walks along the RM canal, Scotney and the farmland around New Romney produced little of note apart from 10 Redwings in the town park on Saturday and a steady increase in Mediterranean Gulls locally. Elsewhere, Swallow, Sand Martin and Sedge Warbler were reported from the reserve, plus an Iberian Chiffchaff in a private garden at Dungeness on Saturday.
