Rye Harbour - 22nd November

A cool cloudy day at Rye Harbour Nature Reserve where the highlight was undoubtedly the large (several hundreds) flocks of Golden Plover which periodically took off in groups for an aerial display, often flying very high and in formation, before landing and then repeating the manoeuvre. On the beach, when the tide went out, there were mixtures of mainly Dunlin, Oystercatcher and Ringed Plover with the occasional Grey Plover. On the way back a brief stop at Pett Level provided an opportunity to get close to a Little Egret.

Bexhill - 4th to 19th November

The combination of variable weather and multiple online Zoom meetings meant that opportunities for photographing birds were limited. However, Bexhill-on-Sea often provides interesting sunsets, sunrises and other weather related visual spectacles and there are always gulls and other common birds to be seen when walking along the promenade.
