Dengemarsh Gully - Mild, cloudy, SW2 - We started the day with a Ted walk from Springfield Bridge to Pen Bars and back along the gully where for the most part it was slim pickings. Two each of Redwing and Black Redstart at either end were the highlights along with numerous Robins and Goldfinches plus a handful each of Stonechat, Linnet, Dunnock, Blackbird, Great Tit, Chiffchaff, a Cetti`s Warbler and a Goldcrest. A scan from the bridge yielded little of note apart from the usual wildfowl, gulls, egrets and harriers. Moving onto the local patch where a duck and drake Goldeneye were on south lake plus a `redhead` on north lake; otherwise it was quiet with just a lone Chiffchaff and a couple of Blackbirds by the ponds. As news came through that last weekends Pallas`s Warbler was still present in the moat we nipped back to Dungeness and joined Dave Scott where we had brief views of the stripy sprite as it skulked low down in a net ride.
