Dungeness again for 3 ticks

A text from Brian as I was leaving the most remarkable game of  Rugby at Twickenham tells me to meet up at 5.30 this morning & we will head off to Norfolk for a days birding.
On meeting up we decide the weather is going to be horrible in Norfolk with 40 mile an hour winds so once again it's off to Dungeness where the forecast is for lighter winds & no rain.
First up a look in the lighthouse garden gets us 2 Firecrest that we watched for over an hour so a nice early tick, also in the garden a few Chiffchaff seen.
A visit down to the Observatory where we see our first Wheatear of the year & also pick out another year tick when we spot a Raven flying past the pylons
A trip back up the main road gets us a onto the four Cattle Egret that we saw last week & after we pull round the back of the Sheep field we have them all to our self & spend another hour watching them, also seen on the field opposite we find a Buzzard sitting feeding that was nice to watch as well.
So not out to long & not to much to see but 3 ticks out of the day & it's always nice to be out where you just might see something.
