Today I visited a spot I have known about for a while but had not been able to get to. Elmley Nature Reserve on the Isle of Sheppey off the coast of Kent-UK.

It consists largely of marshland, and is the only place in the UK that can be "birded" mostly from ones motor vehicle, although there are a lot of walking that is possible. Huge flocks of Lapwings are common as are loads of Starlings and many other species. Barn owls are common as are Harsh Harriers, Curlews, Oyster catchers and Black Tailed Godwits.
