Dungeness RSPB - mild, cloudy, W3 - An overcast but warm morning, ideal for a tour of the bird reserve with Ted. Our circuit of Dengemarsh produced all the expected fare such as five Marsh Harriers, three Great White and two Little Egrets, two Kestrels, plus several Chiffchaffs, Stonechats, Bearded Tits and Cetti`s Warblers. Around 500 feral geese were on the flooded fields, including at least two White-fronts at the back of Hookers along with 200 Lapwings and a flyover Snipe. I`ve always suspected there to be three Great Northern Divers on site, as confirmed today on Burrowes, together with a Black-throated Diver; in all my long years of birding I cannot recall seeing a `flock` of GNDivers on a freshwater lake. Also noted this morning two Stoats and a Buzzard feeding on a road kill Fox on the Lydd Road.
