Each spring birding day may bring a new bird for the year, and today was brightened by two. Within the usual flock of dunlins, sanderlings, and plovers at Three Crabs were 6 Western Sandpipers. They've been very scarce in the county this year, so it was nice to find them.

Also, a Chipping Sparrow turned up at our feeders located in the farmlands near Graysmarsh Farm. An individual has been reported in at least two other yards near Dungeness. They usually occur annually in very small numbers.

What's coming tomorrow?
