RSPB Dungeness sightings
27th June 2010, SundayThe purple herons have been showing beautifully all weekend giving excellent views from the Hooker’s pits viewpoint and Denge Marsh hide. A bittern continued to boom regularly and on Saturday there was plenty of activity with three individuals seen in flight. At least six hobbies were seen and the red-footed falcon was spotted early on Saturday morning - this is actually a different bird than the one seen earlier in the month. A family party of bearded tits, several cuckoos, marsh harriers and three common tern chicks were also of note.
