Fool's Spring day in Kent

A great day out at Shellness and Swale NNR today in bright sunshine and mild conditions. Unfortunately no early migrants but great to see masses of wintering birds in comfortable summer like conditions-  Ebird list HERE. Highlights included 10 Short-eared Owls, 1 Pale-bellied Brent Goose and 1 Pink-footed Goose with 350+ Russian White-fronted Geese and over 2000 Dark-bellied Brents.
