Dungeness - cold, overcast, S 6 - A blustery old morning at Lade for around 200 visitors to the first Mirror Open Day of the year, but at least it was dry. Birdwise, very little to report apart from several Goldeneyes on south lake. The RSPB reserve was also quiet due to the increasing wind with most wildfowl seeking out the sheltered margins; two Glossy Ibises were reported on Cook`s Pool (CT) early afternoon.
At the point the sea state was such that it made for difficult viewing in the fierce onshore wind, however a few Gannets, auks, Great Crested Grebes and Red-throated Divers were feeding offshore or fizzing by. Down at the Patch the 2nd winter Iceland Gull was hunkered down within a mixed gull flock and as the rain duly arrived on cue the England rugby match on telly seemed a far better proposition than getting a soaking!
