Junior birder

Dungeness - warm, dry and sunny, SW 2 - With lighter winds it felt much warmer today from the off following a cool night. This afternoon we road-tested a pair of Puffin bins that our nine year old grandson Albert had for his birthday. A two hour session from the hides overlooking ARC and Burrowes did the trick where we rattled up 52 species, the highlights being two cracking Spotted Redshanks from Hanson, plus Wood and Green Sandpipers, two Ruffs, two Snipes, three Garganeys, two Little Gulls, Sparrowhawk, Sandwich Tern and Great White Egret from Hanson and Ringed Plover, Dunlin and Black-tailed Godwit from Firth hide.
