Samphire Hoe, Kent.

 Brenda and I having decided to not visit Kingsdown further up the coast last Sunday to avoid the expected large groups of people were fortunate that the CRAG MARTIN was still present along the coast almost a week later! 

Having managed to catch up the with the bird on Tuesday myself over an extended lunch break from work, we were pleased to have a further opportunity to see the bird as Brenda having been teaching all week was unable to join me on that visit,

Social distancing was no problem today and it was wonderful weather to enjoy the bird for a couple of hours among a small number of visiting birders, many good friends among them.
