RSPB Dungeness recent sightings
9th July 2009, ThursdayTwo Mediterranean gulls were spotted among the black-headed gulls in front of Firth hide this morning. Our young kestrels left the nest this week and could usually be seen loafing around on the workshop roof. Hobbies were still present in small numbers and a peregrine flew over the car park on Monday. Waders seen included common and green sandpipers, curlew and whimbrel. Our bittern reappeared on Wednesday, when it was seen flying from Hooker’s pits to Denge Marsh.
