Dungeness Bird Observatory

3rd January 2008, Thursday

A very wintry day with snow showers from mid-morning. Most of the interest was again at sea where a party of three Red-necked Grebes, ten Teal, 17 Eiders, 70 Knot, a Pomarine Skua and a Great Skua, four Mediterranean Gulls, a Little Gull, 150 Kittiwakes and 1425 auks sp were seen. The Red-necked Grebe was also still on the northern Long Pit and a Merlin was seen in the trapping area.
