Combined total of 81 species at @sussexwildlife.bsky.social / Friends of RHNR 'Guide in a Hide' yesterday & Friends of RHNR walk today on just a part of the nature reserve. Includes 19 wader and 5 bird of prey species. And on a weekend when it felt 'pretty quiet' bird-wise.

I saw 75 Wigeon, 45 Teal and half a dozen Pintail on a small part of Rye Harbour NR. Walking home, up the hill, Tawny Owls are very vocal; they have been for a while. I'm in shorts and T-shirt, a bit sweaty, and struggling to work out what bloody season we are in.
