A brief drive along Harty Ferry Road provided 2 Kestrel, SEO (yt), at least 2 Corn Bunting, a pair of Stonechat & c30 Red-legged Partridge. The brambles in the field beside the Fleet had at least 20 Buntings, most probable Reed, but were constantly moving so no confirmed ID. #kentnature #kentbirding

Boatloads of migrants. Turnstones at roost, Lower Halstow, #Medway estuary (29/10/26- spring hide tide, usual roost under water) #KentNature

Sun's out - sieves out! This was from woodland leaf-litter this afternoon. Keys out as Common Chthonid Chthonius ischnocheles, if I'm doing it right. Well-developed ocelli, 4 setae on the rear margin of the cephalothorax. #pseudoscorpions #arachnids #KentNature @vannabartlett.bsky.social

Hand healing nicely, finally ventured out for a little walk. Still plenty of Greenshank around, even 2+ hours past ht (a time by when usually a fair few will have moved off from roost). #Medway estuary #BareNakedBirding #KentNature 1/2

Dropped Mrs G at shops, just happened to be nr bearsted, the spot where I saw a Nutcracker 58 yrs ago, wouldn't hurt to have a another look, carrion Crows, Magpies, Jackdaws and 9 Jays the only Corvids seen. #kentnature #kentbirding
