On Tuesday June 19th David and I went to the Stour Estuary RSPB reserve but the tide was in and we only found the most typical waders (shorebirds). Perhaps the best bird was a Little Egret.

We then went on to the Great Holland Pits where the only bird of note was a Little Grebe. The weather was not good and the woods were silent. We had more luck at Holland Haven which turned out to be much better than our guidebook had indicated. We had Avocets, Black-tailed Godwits, Curlew, Redshank and Oystercatcher at a scrape and I got to see a Green Woodpecker on a vertical tree trunk. This is not exactly rare but I always see this bird on the ground!
