Dungeness RSPB - mild, showery, SW3 - A decent enough morning weather wise for a guided walk around the circular trail for four guests. After a brief absence the divers were back on Burrowes were we enjoyed good views of both Black-throated and Great Northern Diver from Dennis`s lookout. Elsewhere across the lake all the usual common wildfowl were noted including five Goldeneyes close to Firth washout. Passerines were in short supply around the trail but a couple of Chiffchaffs showed well, as did a flock of Long-tailed Tits by Scott lookout and half a dozen Cetti`s Warblers were heard. The hayfields were partially flooded attracting a flock of 100 Lapwings and a Great White Egret with another one on New Excavations, plus a second Great Northern Diver which was the only bird on the water. Across Dengemarsh several Marsh Harriers were noted, two Common Buzzards and a Kestrel. On the way home along the Lydd Road eight Cattle Egrets and five White-fronted Geese were in the flooded fields.
