A quick visit to the Dungeness RSPB reserve in a bitterly cold north-easterly wind. The juvenile Great Northern Diver was still present at the north end of Burrowes Pit, five Avocets were standing on one of the submerged islands and three Goldeneye were feeding. Initially not many gulls appeared to be amongst the masses of Cormorants but gradually more started to arrive to roost, preen and bathe.
