Osprey and Wheatear at (or from!) Motney Hill this evening - fun watching the Osprey attempt a few dives before catching tea (fish again!). @kentishplover.bsky.social #KentBirding

The weekend gets off to a rubbish start with just 15 species (plus a White Stork which flew SSW reasonably high) at the tip 😲 / sewage works.
I keep visiting the site in the hope of finding something interesting but tend to come away empty handed most of the time.

News on the Lesser Whitethroat at Lydd, an update on the Kent year list at the end of March and some intriguing raptors seen this week. Read all the birding highlights of the week on kentos.org.uk. #kentbirding #birdguides

Short-eared Owl on the Isle of Sheppey this evening - its fair to say we surprised each other! A Merlin five minutes later was a little too fast for me... @kentishplover.bsky.social #KentBirding

Dungeness Seawatch hide
Flowering Gorse with Dungeness power station in background
Dungeness Sign in the fog
March across the wider Dungeness recording area was desperate with the 2026 total now on 161 species
Highlight was a Crane which flew over the RSPB reserve, a Smew and Long-tailed Duck on seawatches and a light scattering of spring migrants
Northerly winds are not kind
Keep smiling

Still good numbers of Brambling (8+) and Fieldfare (100+) at East Malling this lunchtime - they'll doubtless all be off soon! #KentBirding @kentishplover.bsky.social @btobirds.bsky.social #BirdMigration

Gorse bush with Dungeness Power Station in background on a sunny morning
Seawatching at Dungeness has been pretty desperate with plenty going up the French side in the last week with these northerly winds
A group of nine Redwing heading north, first singing Willow Warbler for me, a few Chiffchaffs dotted across Point and the odd Siskin over
Keep smiling

A leisurely 6:15 start for the first Milton Creek bird survey on a cold frosty morning. 42 sp seen or heard with 7 Song Thrushes (rare birds there) & a late Fieldfare the highlights. 2 Blackcaps heard calling were year ticks. At least 25 Dunnock recorded. #kentbirding #kentnature

Crane
RSPB Dungeness, I wasn’t hoping for much on the second visit of the day to Burrowes, this afternoon, so was pleasantly surprised to find a Crane overhead, that circled briefly before going height and heading north.

A nice week of birding in Kent with more Spring arrivals, a Black Kite, Iceland Gull, Red-necked Grebe and an out of place Marsh Tit. See kentos.org.uk for all highlights. #kentbirding #birdguides
