Rye Harbour Sightings
19th September 2010, SundayHighlights today included a Curlew Sandpiper on the Quarry, at least five Greenshank on Ternery Pool and Harbour Farm, and at least 11 Knot on the shore. In addition, a Merlin was present on Harbour Farm adjacent to Lime Kiln and, best of the bunch to my mind, a Sooty Shearwater passed close offshore mid-morning. Yesterday highlights at Castle Water included at least three Marsh Harrier (including a fine male), Buzzard, Peregrine, five Black-tailed Godwit, seven Bearded Tit and a Black-necked Grebe.
