Cliffe (Kent): It's been difficult for us to get out recently with work being so busy, so we were pleased to have managed a three hour visit to Cliffe this afternoon. The birds weren't close enough to photograph; however the views of Shorelark (3) near the 'Flamingo' pool, a male Goldeneye nearby and a female Sparrowhawk and single Great Northern Diver on the Alpha pool made for a pleasant afternoon.
