Snow Bunting
Friday 22 February 2013
Still no moths to report. Made a visit to Dungeness yesterday. In spite of the "bracing" conditions I managed to see 1 of the 2 Snow Buntings at Littlestone, the Glaucous Gull near the fishing boats, and the 5 Tundra Bean Geese from the entrance track to the RSPB Reserve, where we also managed to get a distant flight view of the 2 Egyptian Geese. There were also 5 Great White Egrets in total (4 of them on the ARC pit) and about 120+ Bewick's Swans on Walland Marsh. (I managed to miss a brief a view of a Bittern from the Dengemarsh road.)

No moths to report but I did go to Stodmarsh to see the Penduline Tit this morning. Earlier this week I spent 4 days birding in Bulgaria with Birdfinders. Highlights were Eagle Owl & Syrian Woodpecker which were both new for me, plus good numbers of White-fronted and Red-breasted Geese. Other good birds were White-tailed Sea Eagle, Long-legged & Rough-legged Buzzard, 5 species of Woodpecker, 4 species of Owl, Calandra Larks, Moustached Warbler and Penduline Tits. (95 species total). I will be posting the better photos on my Flickr site-see link. Meanwhile here's a distant shot of the Stodmarsh Penduline Tit,
