Trip to Sheppey Thursday 28th very hot and humid,
distinct lack of birdlife and significant by their absence, would have expected
to see by now Swallows in abundance, but this was not the case save a couple of
pair trying hard to make home in the ladies and gents toilets.
Fringing a large field close to the farm a swayth of plough
around the perimeter has been sown with seed bearing plants for cover and future
food for birds, well done rspb but the young growth is a significant attraction
to the Brown Hares of which I counted five.
Nothing in the way of heart stopping observations were made,
perhaps the best was a close encounter with a Peregrine Falcon whilst enroute
to the main road, too quick for the camera, alas. Four sightings of Marsh
Harrier quartering the dykes, seven sightings of Yellow Wagtails and on the
Wellmarsh scrape a family of Shelduck, Tufted Duck with five young, BH gulls in profusion which just about
concludes my visit. See pics below.
