Sorry it's been so long since my last post, my summer holiday seems to have fallen into a black hole (one that involved some chainsawing though!). Had my first visit to Rye Harbour Nature Reserve this morning - what a great place for bird watching. Despite the grey weather we saw golden plover, ringed and little ringed plover, dunlin, yellow wagtail, little egret, lapwing, grey heron, cormorant, wheatear, linnet, goldfinch, little grebe, kestrel, and redshank (or maybe ruff). There were a couple of other birds of prey but we had trouble identifying them - possibly harriers.
There were also some great plants at the reserve due to the interesting habitats (saltmarsh and shingle). Here are a few:
 |
| Yellow Horned-poppy |
 |
| Bristly Oxtongue |
 |
| Viper's-bugloss |
 |
| Bittersweet |
 |
| Red valerian |
 |
| Scarlet pimpernel |
