@dungenessbirdobs.bsky.socialDungeness, Kent Day 2 A most enjoyable ‘proper’ obs day, a murky morning blessed with an easterly wind. Birds were dropping in with modest numbers of thrushes, (inc 6 Ring Ouzel), 4 Woodcock and a Jack Snipe. We joined in with the incoming geese - 5 Tundra Bean (thanks Jacob) and 345 White-fronted.

Show PostClassic conditions and birds arriving throughout the day at King George Park! Thrushes and Starlings between the showers, Robins spiralling out the sky. Later this tiny Wren flew in-off the sea in awful conditions, looking very lost under the cliff! ebird.org/checklist/S4... #kentbirding #PWC2026
