Sightings, weekend weather and next week's tides.

Hello,

Today at RSPB Frampton Marsh we have been joined by the Gravesend RSPB Local Group and pupils from the Thomas Deacon Acadamy in Peterborough. 

The Gravesend group saw some great birds and had an enjoyable day in the sun.

The TDA students seperated into two groups. One had a walk around the reedbed with me, while the other group did some landscape painting in the 360 hide with the TDA teachers. Then we swapped over. The main reason for the school group's visit was to provide us with some more artwork for our reedbed trail. Currently we are displaying art from last year's year 10 group. If you have not seen the current work on display, you should pop down for a look!

Today's sightings highlights have included:

Pink-footed goose 5

Brent goose 2

Buzzard 1

Peregrine 1

Golden plover 200+

Bar-tailed godwit 2

Spotted redshank 2

Little stint 2

Curlew sandpiper 1

Ruff 80+

Yellow wagtail 3

Wheatear 4

and a stoat.
