Sitting on a bench at Leybourne Lakes watching geese shepherding their goslings whilst listening to a nightingale hidden in a nearby thicket. On a warm May evening,can there be any preferable activity?
Whilst sitting there, a doe rabbit ran across the footpath, spent several minutes gathering fresh grass and other herbage in its mouth before returning to its burrow. Clearly this was an animal intent on making a nest that would hold its babies.
Whitethroats, sedge and reed warblers, can also be heard around the lakes, but the nightingale outshines them all.
