Juvenile Marsh Harrier

Dungeness - muggy, overcast, light airs - We walked the Trapping Area first thing where a large mixed passerine flock contained several Willow Warblers, Common and Lesser Whitethroats and a Blackcap amongst the tits and Chaffinches. A Tree Pipit flew over calling, plus a Ringed Plover.
  Had another go for the Galloways Wryneck today, without success, although it was seen earlier. Several Whinchats and Stonechats were some compensation, plus a superb close Hobby chasing a Swallow.
  An evening visit to ARC from Screen hide produced my first juvenile Marsh Harrier of the summer sat on an island. As far as I`m aware only one pair nested locally and this bird may have been from that site. Also, two Wood Sandpipers and one Common Sandpiper noted on the islands along with two Garganeys.

Lade - There was plenty of moths in the garden trap this morning of 25 species, but short on quality apart from some smart White-points. A quick scan of south lake from the aerial mound resulted in just the usual wildfowl.
