Birds and nature in Rye Harbour Nature Reserve during a visit on the last day of my stay in Sussex - 23rd April 2026

Spotted Redshank at the far side of the Salt Pool

Avocet much nearer in a shallow scrape



Accommodating Shelduck

Male Linnet perching on a thin stem

Male Stonechat standing on top of a wooden post

Ivy-leaved Toadflax covering part of the shingle near the coast

Avocet on the move

Old railway carriage positioned just outside the reserve in Rye Harbour

Common Whitethroats on brambles


A last view of the Spotted Redshank in breeding plumage

Two Common Terns on one of the little islands in a lagoon

Female Linnet perching on a telegraph cable

 I spent a great dry sunny week visiting Winchelsea Beach, Pett Level, Hastings Country Park and Rye Harbour Nature Reserve - I was so lucky!
