20/06/2020 East Guldeford Yellow Wagtails

Saturday 20 June 2020
East Guldeford near Rye, Sussex

Enjoyed a splendid day out on Romney Marshes with David, a fellow local birder.  Thanks to the farmer who gave us permission to park our cars on his land at Moneypenny Farm. We followed the anticlockwise loop down towards Camber before turning for the return leg.  The weather was almost ideal - warm and sunny with only a light breeze.
  • Highlight of the trip were the 6+ yellow wagtails we saw on the eastern edges of the farm.  They were by the field bean crop and not associating with any of the cows close by.

  • We also got a cracking view of a corn bunting at the start.
  • Reed buntings, skylarks and reed warblers were ubiquitous as you would expect.
  • Larger birds included kestrel, sparrowhawk and buzzard.
  • No sign of any tree sparrows today I'm afraid!

Great to be out and about in this lovely area.  
Got back to the car to catch the end of the Albion game against the Arsenal - well done boys!
