On 28 July 2016 I visited the RSPB reserve at Dungeness, Kent (VC 15, TR0618) with Tony Allen and we obtained permission to look for Rhyssemus germanus (Linnaeus) (Scarabaeidae), which had been taken there by Mark Telfer on the night of 14 June 2013. The method used was to sieve the accumulations of rabbit dung that were there in abundance. As it was very windy I took my sievings home and examined them there and was very pleased to see a small scarab that proved to be Rhyssemus.
