Dungeness 19th July

The White-tailed Lapwing is still present but decided to stay sat on the shingle.  We saw a Purple Heron flying to and from the nest site.

We saw a small group of Tree Sparrows at the reserve entrance

and a Corn Bunting sang from the wires nearby.   A Black-tailed Skimmer basked on the reeds at Dengemarsh.

White-tailed Lapwing

A White-tailed Lapwing arrived at Dungeness on 11th July via Lancashire, Essex and Gloucestershire.  It was still present this morning when I went to see it.

This is a first for Kent (and me!)

Rather too far away for photography but here is a record shot.
