This last few weeks have seen a good set of birds passing through East Kent, like the
glossy ibis seen again yesterday at Stodmarsh, but as usual I've missed most of them (just don't try hard enough!). Fortunately, the intrepid Kingsdown Sherpa has been out and about, and is getting quite handy with the camera, as his
Flickr site shows.
Dotterel on the beach at Sandwich
Ruff at Restharrow Scrape
Red-backed shrike at Dungeness
Somehow Steve has the charm to get close to the birds, or maybe it's something to do with the size of his lens - this
spotted flycatcher is impressed.
Spotted redshank at Backsand Scrape
Curlew Sandpiper at Backsand Scrape
Kingfisher at Grove
And then of course there was the famous
tufted puffin, which flew in, swam about a bit and swam out again, at Oare.

Steve ,
I take it that the artist had just got back from the pub in the last shot .
I think ill try that on a few of my pics!
Greenie - no, the artist was bored at work.
Sorry, that should read 'inspired at work'!
Warren - good idea, eh? It's what you might call using a 'ringer' hohoho :-)
Your comment on my blog about a Raven had me scanning through all the shots i took! But alas they were all Rooks and Jackdaws......Raven would have been a Patch tick!
Wonderful photos! I like that Dotterel...very pretty and the kingfisher shot is great.
