Terrible conditions for a guided Kingfisher walk around the harbour with Richard & Robin this morning. However it actually worked to our advantage as the Kingfisher was using only a limited number of perches. π·π§οΈπ¨πππ #Ramsgate #winter #wildlife

I bumped into fellow birdwatcher Scott @scottbirder.bsky.social down at the harbour this morning. He put me onto a lone Guillemot that was distant at the harbour entrance. Just as I was about to leave I heard the Kingfisher calling & spotted it perched on a ladder. π·π§οΈπ¦ββ¬πππ #Ramsgate #winter #wildlife

National Grid were out on Minster Marshes today. They seem to think they have found the perfect spot to build a massive electricity converter station on. Not at all water logged, marshy and home to loads of wildlife! π₯β οΈπ¦ ππ#saveminstermarshes #rethinksealink
