Isle of Sheppey, including Shellness, Minster and Elmley Marshes.
Paul and group
- What a difference a few day's can make! No sign of the Richard's Pipit or the White-fronted Geese flock (Alan spotted a single bird) at Shellness and we had to work really hard before finally getting the good views of the Shore Lark we craved at Minster.

- Nevertheless our group (of 11) had a really good time and still managed a species count of well over 60, including the Hooded Crow.
