It's pretty rare that you get an
opportunity to see more than one or two species of Yank wader in a year in Kent, therefore with a White-rumped Sand continuing it's stay at
Oare I decide to finally visit this superb reserve. With luck on arrival I saw the bird almost immediately as it flew onto one of the close islands (close for
Oare) and almost immediately fell asleep amongst the
Goldies. A cracking little bird and yet another good wader this autumn.
A week later and I was back at
Dunge where two Buff breasts had taken up residence in the Kent part of
Scotney. Parked in
Calandra lane I walked with Alan and Brenda
Fossey along the cycle track whereby the two birds were seen well amongst the
Goldies and Ruff. The views were excellent though having recently seen the bird at
Davidstow, I'd been spoilt with point blank views. The rest of the day turned us
ome good birds with
Whinchat, two Little Stint, Black and Arctic Tern, Black
throated Diver, Merlin and a surprise Barred Warbler on the
RSPB reserve that was actually quite showy
Barred Warbler crashing it's way around the bushes and scrub
Nearby, the Two Egrets showed well, Little and Large. A scene like this would have been unthinkable years ago yet Great White seems almost resident at
Dunge now and Little Egret are common. A great day out and a good
opportunity to see Barred Warbler well
