I went bird watching on Sheppey today with Bob Bland and Trevor Maynard,Being on the Island today in a biting north westerly wasn`t that pleasant,especially as we had walked all the way along the wall to the South Swale reserve and failed to see yesterdays reported Spoonbills.

Having said that,the birding however proved to be well worth while.The best of the sightings being - Whinchat 3,Yellow wagtail 10,a flock of 25 Corn Buntings,Hobby 1,Merlin 1,Common Buzzard 1
and Grey Partridge 2 all seen along the Capel Fleet road,Whimbrel 2,on the Swale and a good show put on by numerous Marsh Harries.Interestingly there was still 50 or more Brents in Funton creek.

  1. It's a shame that you missed the Spoonbills Alan but you're ahead of me with the Grey Partridge, I always manage to miss them.
