There were two fox sightings at the Hoe this morning,one doing a Chris Bonnington impression,clambering across the cliff face,the other taking breakfast back to the den presumably.

FOX WITH RABBIT FOR BREAKFAST he looks in fine fettle,the fox that is, not the rabbit..

WINDSWEPT WHEATEAR,
 POSSIBLY THE LAST OF THE SPRING.

Over the weekend an unknown moth was caught and a superb orangetip paid a call in the garden on sunday afternoon.

U.F.O.

ORANGE TIP

Yesterday made the trip to Dungeness,the wind made things very uncomfortable at the point,and I can only wonder at the fortitude of those doing a 9.5 hour sea watch.Two black terns at the patch were the first of my year and a little ringed plover on the ARC pits was also a year tick.On to the RSPB and swifts added to the year list and I believe I was the first to pick up the red rumped swallow near Hookers pit,unfortunately the camera was in the bag at the time,so it was pleasing that others saw the bird later.The only pictures yesterday were of a common tern and a pair of GCGrebes in courtship mode.
