Very quiet again with just two Mediterranean Gulls and 90 Red-throated Divers passing offshore although the feeding frenzy of 3000+ Cormorants was an impressive sight.


Cormorants Phalacrocorax carbo   Dungeness   12th February 2026
Just a small part of the feeding frenzy offshore this morning.

Two Porpoises and two Grey Seals were also feeding offshore.
