We meet up with Brian at just after 5 o'clock & with nothing about within distance that we need to tick it's off to the old favourite Dungeness.
When we arrive we go up to the beach to look for the Black Tern, the place is alive with Gulls, we see a few Terns but no target bird.
We spend 3 hours here & for once it's not to cold so a nice time to be here, but the down side is no birds about. So we go to look for a Wood Sandpiper as I still need to tick one for the year, the pit is full of birds but no Wood sandpiper is found, we do get to see a few people that we know which is always nice.
So we head to Oare marsh for another try, once again it's full of birds mainly Bl-t Godwits over 500 at a guess,plenty of Avocets a few Green Sandpipers, a couple of Snipe that looked really nice with the sun on their backs.
Also two Little-r Plovers are seen, many Dunlin, one Black-necked Grebe is picked out, no sign of the target bird for me to tick today.
So no ticks today but a very pleasant few hour's birding, also to catch up with some familiar faces made it a really nice day.
