the Medway Local RSPB Group had a walk at Cliffe Pools on 16th March, and here is their report and list of sightings:
Despite the extremely dull and rather cold weather we had a very pleasant circuit of the whole Reserve and saw a total of 51 species. Nothing unusual, but the highlight was a flock of 10 corn buntings seen from the Black Barn viewing mound.
