Rye Harbour Sightings

Highlights on the Beach Reserve this morning included two Mediterranean Gull (amongst about 100 Black-headed Gull) at Ternery Pool and a Black-tailed Godwit and an Avocet on Flat Beach Level. On Harbour Farm, five Goldeneye (including two drake) were on the new pits near the Barns, while two Scaup were on Long Pit. In addition, a quick visit to Castle Water Hide late morning found two Bittern, two Smew (one male), four Mediterranean Gull and a female Marsh Harrier.
