Rye Harbour NR, East Sussex
Spent the afternoon and evening at Rye Harbour NR. I needed to get out having spent the whole weekend watching soccer and the Olympics on TV.
There were not many birds around but there was a spoonbill which I saw first by the Narrow Pits as it fed in shallow water. Minutes later I got superb views as it flew past me and into the new saltmarsh area where it started to feed again in the shallow water.
After this I made my way to Castle Water where a greenshank and a common sandpiper were the main highlights.
On my way back to the car, at dusk, there must have been 2000 to 3000 greylag geese coming in to roost - a noisy but spectacular event.
Birds were few and far between today but I did see a rather special one - and managed to do my 10 000 steps today!
