Oare Marshes for a change

A visit to Oare Marshes and the first for a while (02/03/25) was cut short due to a thick sea mist rolling in from the Swale and limiting the view out over the East flood. A Barn Owl was seen quartering the Western side of the reserve on arrival and there was at least 20 Pintails on the East flood.

A solitary Spoonbill, a juvenile, slept for mostly all of my visit but awoke and took flight, crossing the Swale and touching down on the Sheppey side by the Harty ferry pub.
