A nice bright morning with a chilly easterly breeze, and another wander up to Poole Place found it very quiet offshore and very little on the sea. The highlight being an Avocet at the end of Climping beach with Oystercatchers, before flying off west after being flushed by dog walkers.

Grey Heron Bailiffscourt

Out early afternoon with a couple of Rock Pipit in the setaside and a Redwing opposite Bailiffs court entrance. One of the Rock Pipits certainly is littoralis.

Looks as though the Golf course has removed a load of bramble and hedgerow near the Mill footpath. Hopefully they plant a line of Gorse or something similar rather than let the nettles take over.
