Dungeness RSPB

Mandy and I left at about 9.45 this morning and drove down to Dungeness for a spot of birding action, the sun was bright and warm although a light breeze was chilly.

We walked around the whole reserve in just over 2 hours and had a definate 24 species, this is excluding Gulls, they are a nightmare to me......
