Had a good at Dungeness yesterday on a generally sunny day. It started well at The Hanson Hide where my friend first heard movement in the reeds close to the hide, which proved to a very close Bittern. Initally obscured, we had to wait a while but eventually the bird emerged and posed for quite a while in the open. We then finally caught up with the Caspian Gull at the Fishing Boats. Around the RSPB Reserve in the afternoon, we also noted the regular Glaucous Gull, 2 Goosander, 2 Smew, Slavonian Gebe, 2 Little Egrets and a Great White Egret.
