A very cold day at Rye Harbour NR. Upon arrival there were few waders visible from the Gooders Hide, courtesy of a peregrine which was zipping around and causing havoc. Later the Golden Plover, Lapwings and Oystercatchers all returned to their usual places. Other highlights were 4 Brent Geese, several Shelduck and some Little Egrets. Further round on the circuit we found a confiding Redshank feeding in one of the gullies.
