Shorelark Twitch at Reculver – British Birding
October 18th, 2016 Nick Today I decided to make a trip along the North Kent coast to Reculver where Shorelark had been reported for about a week or so. As I have written on previous occasions I am not much into twitching. It is not because I don’t like to see new birds or that I am not prone [...]

Swale National Nature Reserve & Leysdown – British Birding
