Dungeness 19th July
20th July 2010 by Robin.
The White-tailed Lapwing is still present but decided to stay sat on the shingle. We saw a Purple Heron flying to and from the nest site.
We saw a small group of Tree Sparrows at the reserve entrance
and a Corn Bunting sang from the wires nearby. A Black-tailed Skimmer basked on the reeds at Dengemarsh.

After lunch we walk along a section of the Simcoe-Port Dover railway which is now a 10K trail. Very pleasant to get out into the open after the wet morning.
