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.

Hamstreet Woods and King’s Wood and good for butterflies at this time of year. We saw White Admiral at both sites and Silver-washed Fritillary at Hamstreet, although both did not want to pose for the camera.
Here is a selection.

A White-tailed Lapwing arrived at Dungeness on 11th July via Lancashire, Essex and Gloucestershire. It was still present this morning when I went to see it.
This is a first for Kent (and me!)
Rather too far away for photography but here is a record shot.
