...'I really doubt it', is usually my response when a visitor to the RSPB Dungeness Reserve says this to me. 'I expect that you've probably seen a Mink'. If folks leave the reserve thinking they have seen an Otter, then good for them, maybe one day it might happen for real. Mink are present across the reserve and wider peninsular meaning that it is very unlikely that Water Voles occur, in fact I have not seen any signs of Water Voles on the reserve since moving to the area in 2019.
Mink
This Mink was at Dengemarsh today and scampering off to the Hayfields and yesterday two were seen at the Viewing Ramp.
Great Crested Grebe
Great Crested Grebe
Always lovely to watch the courtship display of Great Crested Grebes, head shaking, preening and the wonderful weed dance.
Great Cormorant
This Great Cormorant of the race sinensis caught my eye with its wonderful Mohican breeding plumage.
