Dungeness - cold, dry, light airs - Just back from a trip to Egypt so having to adjust to the frigid air for this morning`s Ted walk around the peninsula where the highlight was a scattering of at least five Black Redstarts. Also noted on the land singing Skylarks and Meadow Pipits, a pair of Stonechats, a White Wagtail by the boats, 10 Pied Wagtails by the crow trap, a Chiffchaff in the lighthouse garden, a Kestrel and a Peregrine on the power station. A catch-up with the locals in the seawatch hide produced several large flocks of Brents moving up-Channel, a few Common Scoters, Kittiwakes and Red-throated Divers and three Curlews. Typical early spring fare - it`s good to be back!
