12/09 - Dungeness Dike

We went to the Dungeness Dike after the big storm. It had rained all night, and the wild winds had been blowing. The river was high, and the land was flooded. The new dike held.

It's almost winter, so flowers were few and the trees were bare. The ponds were full of ducks, and we could hear frogs croaking somewhere. We had a great view of an osprey, a distant view of an eagle, a silhouette of a jay, a great blue heron and a rather odd mystery bird a bit too far to photograph properly.

Ducks and more ducks






A hard to see hawk

That's not a bird as best we can tell.
