Eurasian Dotterel - Nigel Jarman
The rarest bird of the week was an adult male Sardinian Warbler, which was seen on the 25th on Graveney Marshes. Unfortunately it only showed relatively briefly to a single observer in the early morning. It was seen eating berries in a bush and then flew off strongly towards the West. It could not be refound. If accepted it will only be the 8th record of this species in Kent. The Zitting Cisticola at Galloways moved on and wasn't seen this week. Birders looking for it on the 22nd were rewarded though with a Dotterel which was seen and heard calling as it flew overhead. This was the first for this year in Kent, but was followed quickly with a second over Weddington the next day, and then an adult and two juveniles in a field near St Margarets at Cliffe on the 28th. As hoped, the Stone Curlew remained at Cliffe, but was only seen on the afternoon of the 22nd and 28th.
Sea-watching picked up a bit, especially on days with stronger winds. At Dungeness 10 Balearic Shearwaters flew past the fishing boats on the 27th. North Foreland had both a Long-tailed Skua and a Pomarine Skua this week, while a Sooty Shearwater flew past Foreness.
The Bonaparte's Gull remained at Oare, while a juvenile Purple Heron flew along the River Wantsum near Reculver on the 24th. Ospreys were seen at Dungeness, Motley Hill and Stodmarsh, while a juvenile Hen Harrier was seen at Dungeness and a juvenile Honey Buzzard flew in off the sea at Dover. Several Little Stints, Wood Sandpipers, Curlew Sandpipers and Spotted Redshanks were still seen around the county. Upto six Black-necked Grebes were at Lade pitts, while a group of 50+ White Storks flew over Sheppey and near Canterbury later in the week.
Osprey - John Young
The decent autumn for song bird migration continues, with good numbers of Redstarts, Pied and Spotted Flycatchers, Grasshopper Warblers and Whinchats around. There was also strong movement of hirundines this week, with over 3000 Sand Martins and over 2000 Barn Swallows counted at Dungeness on the 25th and 26th combined.
Common Redstart - John Young
Strong SW winds are forecast for this weekend, which may mean a further pick up in sea-watching along the south coast. Good luck.
