Good afternooning all.
We spent today out at the Dungeness nature reserve. Binoculars essential of course.
The weather started off grey and still, but the sun came out then then the wind got up… and finally we got soaked in a heavy shower, but as it coincided with us hearing an extremely rare Bittern we retreated to our car happy.
Dungeness is in the extreme south east of the UK and the area is one ginormous shingle beach stretching miles inland. It’s a very unusual and ecolologically important environment.
View over towards the nuclear power station. My Dad was working at the predecessor power station when I was born.
