24th May

A brilliant days birding began with the finding of a singing Greenish Warbler at the north-west corner of the trapping area. Surprisingly it gave superb views for most of the morning and early afternoon and was the first Dungeness record since 1993. Four Bee-eaters were seen on numerous occasions during the day while two Honey Buzzards, a Red Kite and two White Storks also flew over. A check of the sea in the evening produced 60 Mediterranean Gulls.
