Seasalter, Graveney Marshes

Brenda and I drove to Seasalter this morning and walked Nell. Tide was high, so Nell enjoyed swimming for a short while in an area where there was no risk of disturbing any roosting birds.

As the tide started to turn, we walked along Graveney Marshes knowing that there had been recent sightings of Russian White-fronted Geese (9) and Snow Bunting (1). On returning to the car, parked near the yacht club, the Ring-necked Parakeet that has frequented the area for a short while was heard and showed briefly.

 Brenda and I walked Nell out along Faversham Creek and managed to pick out the 8 White-fronted Geese and 4 Tundra Bean Geese out distantly on Ham Marshes.

News this morning before work of 4 Tundra Bean Geese together in a field near the Millfield estate in Faversham, near Faversham Creek. Popped down prior to my first business meeting of the day and enjoyed good views along with a couple of other local birders.
