Dungeness Obs 7th, 8th & 9th Oct

Brent Migration
Crimson Speckled Common Crane The Old Lighthouse




A fantastic trip down with Wes to the obs for the annual trip. Good to catch up with Dave and the others at the obs. A good seawatch saw a huge movement of Great Skua with over 200 seen. Also several Arctic Skuas, a single Pom and large numbers of Brent Geese. Pretty quiet around the rest of the point though good numbers of common migrants especially finches moving through. The two Common Cranes gave themself up on Dengemarsh too. A single Crimson Speckled at the traps was a real bonus as well as several Vestal, Feathered Brindle and two Streak.
