I saw this white horse standing patiently in a field when I set off from Winchelsea Beach
Male Pheasant lurking by a garden hedge
Sedge Warbler well disguised in the branches of a tree
Shelduck standing in shallow water at the Salt Pool
Female Stonechat standing on top of a post at the edge of the Salt Pool
Linnet perching on the wire fence
Two Avocets stretching their wings
Group of Avocets having a meeting in a shallow scrape
Two Bar-tailed Godwits - one in winter plumage and the other in summer plumage - arrived in the scrape
The Avocets checked out the Bar-tailed Godwits
then left them to it!
The Spotted Redshank in summer plumage was at the far side of the Salt Pool
Common Whitethroat on a bare-branched shrub
Oystercatchers on one of the little islands at Flat Beach
Groups of Sandwich Terns on islands in the shallow water of Flat Beach
Four Whimbrels were in the grass at the other side of the water - viewed from Gooders hide
Suddenly the Sandwich Terns took to the air
then landed again
I left the reserve to walk along the road to the Castle Water entrance - on the way along the road I saw a Goldfinch near the top of a tree
Speckled Wood butterfly on the footpath
Pied Wagtail in the grass near Castle Water
Rabbit sitting underneath a tree
I was happy to see a small group of Yellow Wagtails in a field by Castle Water
Cormorant drying its wings in front of Halpin hide at Castle Water
Oystercatcher on rocks in front of the Halpin hide
I left the reserve at one of the exits near to Harbour Farm and came across a large duck pond - with a few Mallards - on one of the side roads leading to the main road between Rye and Winchelsea Beach
Great Wisteria plant in flower on a house overlooking the duck pond
