White spotted Bluethroat at Dover

With Brian back on board today, we drive the 80 odd miles to Dover in Kent & head through the one way tunnel that has been cut into the white cliffs to get to Samphire Hoe to look for the Bluethroat that has been here for a few days now. On the way we spot a Little Owl, fly up & over the car, the first one of the year for me.
A couple of local birders have already spotted the bird & after a few minutes we get to see it as well, it hangs about for a few minutes then drops out of sight, we hang around for about an hour but it stays out of view, with the cold wind biting at us, it's in the warm car & off to the old favourite Dungeness.

Bluethroat

It's about 35miles away, when we arrive it's a quick walk around the moat area without to much activity,
so we start to focus on the over side of the road & right away we see at least 3 Black Redstart 1 being female.
Next up it's a Stonechat showing well on top of a small bush another year tick for two of us
There are a few Wheatear about as well ,Jimmy & I
needed one for a year tick.175 ticks so far this year
11 year ticks over the Easter holidays at six locations
