Weather,mainly clear first thing,clouding over later,northeast.I spent the morning and early afternoon at Dungeness with Bob Bland.We knew there had been a Great White Egret,Spotted Crake and Red-backed Shrike there earlier in the week and was hoping all three would still be there.We were in luck with the Egret,as we passed the ARC pits it was seen sitting in some bushes with five Grey Herons and two Little Egrets (its possible roosting site).We spent about forty five minutes in the Hanson Hide waiting for the Crake to show,but no luck.We were later told it appeared fifteen minutes after we had left.We did go back later during the afternoon but still no luck.As for the Shrike we were told it was no longer in the area.
