Hi all
Yesterday finally got to visit Castle water at Rye harbour nature reserve to see if I could get some half decent photo's of the bittern there. Weather was good and there was a good numbers of wildfowl about, the cormorants were starting to get the nests ready bringing new twigs to add to the nests. Also seen besides the bittern, were Quantities of greylag and canada geese, shelduck,widgeon,gadwall,large quantity of shoveler,teal,little grebe, unfortunately no sing of the drake smew, and plenty of tufted ducks, marsh harriers we seen quatering the reed beds plus many more of birds of the regular species.
Regards Derek

Hi Seymouraves,
The Whole area from Dungeness (where I am a volunteer) to Hastings which is know as the RX wildlife area is a great area for birds and all wildlife, I keep up todate with the area using the RXwildlife.org.uk web page, it is an area of many habitats.
