Nine members met at Oare Marshes on Tuesday 28th August. On arrival we were treated to scope views of an Osprey and in the next hour or so we saw:
C Buzzard
Sparrowhawk
A Peregrine being mobbed by 2 Hobbies
Kestrel
Marsh Harrier
and lots of waders including Black-tailed Godwit and Golden Plover with Whimbrel, Spotted Redshank and Ruff.
Do join us for our first Indoor meeting of the Autumn on Wednesday 12th September at 19.30 for a talk on local Barn Owls.
