Dungeness Today
The PURPLE HERONS have been showing beautifully all weekend giving excellent views from the Hooker's pits viewpoint and Denge Marsh hide. A BITTERN continued to boom regularly and on Saturday there was plenty of activity with three individuals seen in flight. At least six Hobbies were seen and the first-summer male RED-FOOTED FALCON was spotted early on Saturday morning - this is actually a different bird than the one seen earlier in the month. A family party of Bearded Tits, several Common Cuckoos, Marsh Harriers and three Common Tern chicks were also of note (Christine Hawkins, Visitor Centre Manager, RSPB Dungeness )
