Crested Lark at Dungeness - and a look at Elmley




30 April - I delayed my Spain trip by a day, and a visit to Dungeness resulted in views of the Crested Lark, seen several times in flight (upper photo, copyright Dungeness Bird Observatory) with its distinctive profile, then finally on the ground through the scope. A look at Elmley en route home produced excellent views of a pair of Marsh Harriers with the male displaying - also Avocets on the nest (centre pic, JM) and several Yellow Wagtails including singing males. A Hobby flew over and was seen well (lower pic, JM).
