I found this Wall Brown #Butterfly resting on a branch. 🙂 🎥🌞🦋💚👍 #Pegwell #summer #wildlife

I think you could say that the garden bin lid bird bath proved very popular with the Blue & Great tits! 🙂 📹🌞💦🐦🐦🐦💚👍 #Ramsgate #summer #wildlife #binlidbirdbath

The highlight of todays walk was when two Spoonbills flew in on the incoming tide as I was heading home from #Pegwell. 🙂 📷🌤️💚👍#summer #wildlife #kentbirding

A beautiful evening along the river Stour. We spotted 2 Cattle egret, Buzzard, Marsh harrier & Kestrel but the highlight of the evening was watching the Barn owl hunting & 1 of the chicks poking its head out of the nest box as it got dark. 🎥🌅🦅🦉💚👍 #saveminstermarshes #rethinksealink #summer #wildlife

Highlight of the day for me was spotting this Weasel leaping through the long grass carrying a mouse at #Pegwell. 🙂 🎥🌞🔥🐁💚👍 #summer #wildlife

An absolutely scorching guided wildlife walk from #Ramsgate to #Pegwell with Bronwen & Nigel. Highlights were young Kestrels being fed, a newly fledged female Blackcap at the hoverport & an Eider duck just offshore on the incoming tide. 🙂 📷🌞🔥🦅🦋💚👍 #summer #wildlife

In between the rain showers we got to the Bee Orchids & Marbled white butterfly at St Augustines :-)

A few pics from Gazen Salts nature reserve :-)

A very warm and humid day out before the rains came. We visited Sandwich Lakes and Gazen Salts before stopping off at St Augustines to see the Bee Orchids 🙂 📷🌦️🔥💚👍 #Sandwich #Thanet #summer #wildlife

I found a few Pyramidial orchids along with another 2 Bee orchids the other day 🙂 #Thanet #summer #orchids

I had a feeling the young Kestrels might be fledging soon. Only two of the four were still on the nest when I arrived 🙂 #thanet #summer #wildlife

Some nice views of the Skylarks in the #Pegwell horse paddocks 🙂 #summer #wildlife

Great to see a few families of Long-tailed tits out feeding today 🙂 #Ramsgate #Pegwell #summer #wildlife

A good few Norfolk Hawker #Dragonfly have colonised the Minster drains 🙂 #Saveminstermarshes #rethinksealink #summer #wildlife

One of last years Fox cubs has been trying to get inside the Hedgehog feeding station!. So far the only visitors have been slugs and mice, the Hedgehog is less curious and crawls past the entrance without going in. 🎥🦊🦔💚👍 #Ramsgate #summer #wildlife #springwatch

I got a great view of the male Kestrel hunting as it briefly hovered at almost eye level 🙂 📷⛅️💨🦅💚👍 #Ramsgate #summer #wildlife

The male Kestrel was hunting along the #Ramsgate westcliff this afternoon. I don't think the dog walker even noticed just how close he was! 😉 📷⛅️💨🦅💚👍 #summer #wildlife

I found this Red-veined darter #dragonfly being buffeted by the wind in one of the Lavender bushes outside the Rose garden on #Ramsgate westcliff this afternoon 🙂 📷⛅️💨🦋💚👍 #summer #wildlife

A group photo of the young Kestrels hiding out in the dark 🙂 📷🦅💚👍 #Thanet #summer #wildlife

A lovely day out at Grove Ferry with Sharon. We had 2 sightings of the Bittern. At one point it landed behind the reeds facing the Marsh hide but sadly never came out while we were there. Also Hobbies, Marsh Harriers, Common Tern, Cattle Egret, Swifts & a Cuckoo. 📷🌥️🦅💚👍 #GroveFerry #summer #wildlife

I went to check on the Kestrel nest yesterday. Interesting to see the adult male bring in not a mouse or vole but what looks like a young bird! 🎥⛅️🦅🐥💚👍 #Thanet #spring #wildlife
