Dungeness again.

After climbing up the hills yesterday, it's off to the old favourite Dungeness to get Jimmy a Firecrest for a year tick.We try the beach first & manage to get in the hide for a change.Gannets,G C Grebe are plentiful, some normal stuff are about, whimbrel are seen but not by me.
After being in there for some time, it's clear nothing is happening today, so off to the moat area.
More luck here as we see many Firecrest in the bushes, 20 or more are seen. We also see a couple of them being trapped & getting a ring on the leg.
With the target of the day seen it's off to the reserve to see whats about, it turns out there are 6 Yellow Wagtails on Demo pond area,before we go into the visitor centre a Fox comes close up to us, it's fairly tame & starts to feed by the bird feeders, a good photo opportunity for us all .Off now to get the Wagtails, so we show our pass & walk out of the visitor centre, within a minute we are seeing them, also the White Wagtail is seen, a nice sight to watch these birds flying in & out.
Off now to walk right around the reserve, all that we get to add for a tick is a Willow Warbler & leg ache after the climb of yesterday it's been a strain so it's in the car to get home in time for dinner with the family.
