A week away with little birding

Herring gull flying over ships and wind turbines in Margate, UK - A week away with little birding
A week away with little birding

Just a quick post, from well off the patch. I have recently returned from a trip to Kent (Margate to be precise – we go there quite regularly). I didn’t do much birding as the whole family was there so hard to get us all in a car, but here are a few few photos I did manage (Mainly Herring Gull to be fair).

Not much to say but I hope you like the photos, they aren’t all birds, some are some nice landscapes.

    I also recently visited Margate, and live near there. If you get the chance to visit again, I would recommend visiting Hartsdown Park. It's great for green woodpeckers, jays, kestrels and home to many ring-necked parakeets.

      I've not visited that park before, usually pop to Dane Park or Northdown Park when we visit, also great for the parakeets 🙂

    Lovely photos about your trip away to Kent, Broadstairs is one of the places that is on my list to visit, it looks beautiful for bird photography, are Rock Pipits there during Spring as well 😊
