Thursday 27/3

An afternoon drive around Dungeness hoping for my first Sand Martin with no luck. Weather was blue sky but chilly. First nice find was a Little Owl sunbathing on the chicken factory roof on Caldicote lane .To Dengemarsh where a Peregrine swooped overhead which I initially thought was a Hobby. The Reserve track and viewing from the shop gave up Tree Sparrow , Golden Eye and Smew ( red head) . A good look for the Pink Foot Goose amongst the other geese but no luck looking into the low evening sun. Total 41.
