I had a slightly lazier start than usual to recover from the Shetland trip before I recalled my half-hatched plans to nip down to north Kent, picked up Paul S and headed down the motorway. After a couple of hours of waiting the male
Pine Bunting presented itself atop a little bush just by the area that the local wildfowlers had seeded. After a few moments, it dropped down then made another brief appearance in a distant hedgerow. Brilliant! The area was great for a bit of general birding, with highlights including two
Greater Scaup, a fly-over
Brambling and a couple of
Corn Buntings, along with tonnes of
Wigeon and
Shelduck on The Swale.
