Rye Harbour
3rd April 2012, TuesdayMigrant highlights over the last few days have included 3 Yellow Wagtail on the grassy slopes near Camber Castle, warblers in song at Castle Water include Willow, Sedge, Blackcap and Chiffchaff. At Ternery Pool a few Common Tern have joined the roosting Sandwich Terns and several Swallow have passed overhead at Crittall Hide. On Harbour Farm 4 Whimbrel were roosting on the pools near the barns. Additional avian interest has been provided by at least 600 Mediterranean Gulls on two occasions at Ternery Pool at the end of last week, and at Castle Water a Bittern is still warming up, poor booming sequences being heard on several early mornings around the viewpoint area.
