After we checked out of our hotel in Sheerness on the last morning of our weekend on the Isle of Sheppey, we drove to Elmley nature reserve.
We were too early so had to wait outside the gates where I saw a Goldfinch perching on a twig
Marsh Harrier some distance away
First time I have ever seen a Redshank perching on the top of a bush
Female Common Pochard with her ducklings
Two Shepherd's Huts available to rent
Buildings in front of a lagoon at Elmley
Yellow Wagtail viewed from the car along the long entrance/exit track
Closest I have ever been to a Lapwing, also seen from the car while exiting Elmley
Unfortunately, as we were going back home after the weekend away, we did not have enough time to explore Elmley nature reserve properly. I will definitely have to go back there on my own at some time in the future if I can find a viable way to get there by public transport.
