Big Kent Bird Migration Day

The Big Kent Bird Migration Day covered migration across the Dungeness peninsula. Two guided walks visited the Seawatch hide for marine migration with Balearic Shearwaters a highlight for some, among the Terns and Gannets. Vis Mig from the moat looked out for birds moving through, including rapidly moving Swallows and, despite the rising wind, groups were shown ringing of Meadow Pipit, Stonechat and Blue Tit.

Many thanks to everyone who helped out and hopefully see you all next year.
