Today walked along the busy Promenade at Gravesend. The tide was low and so the mud flats were exposed. The first bird I spotted was a feeding avocet. This was followed by several redshanks and in the distance what appeared to be bar-tailed godwits. I saw a single turnstone and a pair of unidentified ducks. These latter were on the waterline and were small brown ducks. Walking around the marina, which was mud capped with ice, a kingfisher emerged from a tunnel and flew within inches of Daphne and Dylan (the dog).
I was surprised to see the abundance of bird life carrying on their normal behaviours so close to the many people who were taking advantage of the afternoon sun.
