Kent

Stonechat Saxicola rubicola ©Nick Smith Website

The recording area of Kent (areas 15 & 16 in the Watsonian system) is c-terminus with the ceremonial county of the same name. Kent is a county in the South East England region, the closest county to continental Europe. It borders Essex across the entire estuary of the River Thames to the north; the French department of Pas-de-Calais across the Strait of Dover to the southeast; Sussex to the southwest; Surrey to the west and Greater London to the northwest. The largest settlement is the county town of Maidstone. Other large towns include Gillingham, Dartford, Charham, Ashford, Rochester and Margate. It is the fifth most populous county in England, the most populous non-metropolitan county and the most populous of the Home Counties, an area influenced by the capital such as commutes and transport connections to the capital. There are approaching two million people living in Kent, an area of c.3,750 k² (c.1500 square miles).Twenty-eight per cent of the county forms part of two Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty: the North Downs and The High Weald.

The major geographical features of the county are based on a series of ridges and valleys running east–west across the county. Kent’s principal river, the River Medway, rises near East Grinstead in Sussex and flows eastwards to Maidstone. Here it turns north and breaks through the North Downs at Rochester, then joins the estuary of the River Thames near Sheerness. The Medway is some 112 kilometres (70 mi) long. The river is tidal as far as Allington lock. The other two main rivers are the Darent and Stour. The Darent is a chalk stream as are the Nailboure and others including some of the tributaries of the Stour such as the Little Stour. The Royal Military Canal runs between Hythe and Rye.

Birding Kent

Kent’s landscape is well known traditionally by the epithet the Garden of England. Facing mainland Europe, only 25 miles from France, the gleaming chalk White Cliffs of Dover are undoubtedly England’s most famous natural landmark. But, there is more to Kent’s landscape than either agriculture or its chalk backbone. Diverse habitat includes the North Kent Marshes which represent a large proportion of the whole country’s remaining inter-tidal grazing marsh, whilst at Stodmarsh-Grove Ferry the county has one of the country’s largest reed beds adjacent to the Stour River Valley, Dungeness’s almost unique shingle peninsular (it’s the second biggest in the world) supporting countless rare flora and fauna, whilst the whole county is surprisingly well wooded.

Pegwell Bay National Nature Reserve

To enhance these assets the county has no less than 5 RSPB reserves and, uniquely, two dedicated bird observatories (Dungeness & Sandwich Bay). Superb examples of recent habitat management can be found at many locations including; Grove Ferry, Elmley, Dungeness and Oare. All of which bodes well for birding in the county.

Even in a county as well watched as Kent, the sudden prominence in recent years of Bockhill and Kingsdown (St. Margaret’s Bay) as a rarities and visible migration hot-spot, illustrates the counties potential to produce more and more alternative birdwatching locations. Add to the above ingredients the continents proximity and sea-watching sites offering both north and south facing coastlines, and the picture is complete of one of the country’s top birding counties. (The ‘patch’ in the sea of Dungeness nuclear power station where they lose heat attracts birds and birders. Almost anywhere along the coast can be good and Reculver, Minnis Bay round to North Foreland have regular sea watches throughout the year.) Birding statistics at the end of the last century confirm this premier position: County List – 424; Top Year [1999] List – 263; Top Individual County List – 351 (and 66+ birders over 300); Big Day records – 153; Non-motorised – 121 [2003]; Big sit – 77 (all set in 1999).

    InformationSatellite View
    A better bet for nightjar…
  • Canterbury Ring Woods - Larkey Valley Woods

    WebpageSatellite View
    Previously a good site for Hawfinch, now scarce. Many other woods (Lyminge forest, Hamstreet, Bedgebury, etc) in the county hold similar birds and a good look at an OS map will allow birders to make their own discoveries.
  • Dover Area - Bockhill

    WebpageSatellite View
    Between Deal and Dover this site and it's Bockhill Bird Group stalwarts have enjoyed numerous rarities including Blue-cheeked Bee-eater, Red-flanked Bluetail, Nutcracker. Pallas's and Radde's Warbler, and Red-breasted Flycatcher. Yellow-browed Warbler and other scarcities are regular in Autumn. As a sea watching spot good numbers of divers, skuas, terns, auks, etc are seen from the beach.
  • Dover Area - Langdon Cliffs

    WebpageSatellite View
    Situated above Dover docks, the docks 24-hour lighting attracts migrants and contributes to making this spot well worth a visit during migration periods.
  • Dover Area - Samphire Ho

    WebsiteSatellite View
    To the west of Dover, created from the spoil of the channel tunnel this imaginative development is of growing interest. Spider Orchids are flourishing here.
  • Dungeness Area - Dengemarsh

    InformationSatellite View
    At the western extremity of the Dungeness reserve the road overlooks flooded fields that attract waders and a gully by the sea, which can hold migrants.
  • Dungeness Area - Dungeness Bird Observatory

    Observatory WebsiteSatellite View
    The Observatory area is a classic migration hot spot with birds like Firecrest, Ring Ousel and regular rarities (Pallas's, Dusky, Melodious, Icterine, Blyth's Reed, Great-reed & Yellow-browed Warblers, Desert Wheatear, Ring-billed Gull, etc). The warm water patch created by the power station outflow is a draw for terns & gulls notably a Sabine's and a Bonaparte's Gull in 2001, whilst on shore winds in spring and autumn allow seabird passage to be monitored (esp. divers, terns, skuas, shearwaters). In 2001 a magnificent sighting of a Black Browed Albatross was enjoyed by a lucky few birders viewing from the Observatory sea-watch hide situated close-by the patch. Whist an Isabelline Shrike showed well in the area known as the desert.
  • Dungeness Area - Dungeness RSPB Reserve

    WebpageSatellite View
    The juxtaposition of the excellent RSPB reserve and the bird observatory makes Dunge one of the best sites in the county. The RSPB reserve regularly attracts wintering Penduline Tit and wildfowl (especially Smew). In summer it attracts nesting terns and regular Mediterranean Gulls. This Reserve is a must see when in Kent, not only is it building up overwintering and breeding bittern but had breeding purple herons too. Great for winter ducks and grebes, divers and rarities at any time.
  • Folkestone & Hythe Area - Capel-le-Ferne

    InformationSatellite View
    The cliff-top area here is good for visible migration and has produced a string of rarities (including Kent’s first Isabelline Wheatear despite being covered by only a handful of birders.
  • Folkestone & Hythe Area - Copt Point

    InformationSatellite View
    Near Folkestone has the largest congregation of Mediterranean Gulls in the country; winter is the best period, but birds can be found throughout the year (though very few in mid-summer).
  • North Kent Marshes - Allhallows Marshes

    InformationSatellite View
    Follow the seawall east from the village, to choose between sea-watching on the Thames, visible migration along the shoreline, wader watching at the large roost on the shingle beach at Yantlet and on the saltings dotting the creek, or scanning the fields for raptors or over-wintering buntings. The path ends at Stoke Lagoon, excellent for duck in winter, and waders on passage. To the southeast of the village, the footpath to Binney Farm overlooks another small but productive flooded marsh.
  • North Kent Marshes - Bedlams Bottom (Funton Creek)

    WebpageSatellite View
    Known to many simply as Funton, many waders and duck can be found close to the roadside lay-bys. The over-wintering avocet flock is usually a little more distant, but makes up for this in numbers. Raptors are often seen quartering the shorelines.
  • North Kent Marshes - Chattenden

    InformationSatellite View
    A series of woods on the Hoo ridge, with a mix of mature woodland, coppice, scrub and even semi-heath. Some of the more scarce species for the Peninsula can be found with patience, such as Nuthatch, Tawny Owl, and Hawfinch.
  • North Kent Marshes - Cliffe

    WebpageSatellite View
    Cliffe Pools is a mosaic of c.230 hectares of saline lagoons, fresh pools, grassland, salt marsh and scrub. These habitats have developed on old Blue Circle clay diggings and river dredgings. The RSPB is working in partnership with Westminster Dredging PLC to create a Flagship nature reserve and the centre point for visitors to the RSPBs NW Kent reserves. Resident - Great crested and little grebe, little egret, Pochard, Shelduck, redshank, lapwing, barn owl, stonechat, reed bunting. Spring/Summer - Breeding and migrant species including; hobby, avocet, black-tailed godwit, greenshank, ruff and rarities. turtle dove, nightingale, Autumn - Noteworthy for passage waders and other migrants; little stint, curlew, green and wood sandpipers, Garganey. Winter - Notable high tide roosts of waders including dunlin, grey plover and lapwing. Wintering duck such as pintail, Shoveler, teal and Pochard, and wintering raptors like hen and marsh harrier, peregrine and merlin. Other wildlife - Cliffe Pools are also home to a range of other wildlife including water vole and harvest mouse plus notable insects such as the scarce emerald damselfly, shrill carder bee and green hairstreak butterfly. Plant species include nationally notable species such as sea barley and annual beard grass.
  • North Kent Marshes - Grain

    InformationSatellite View
    The recently created Foreshore Country Park includes a mix of scrub and grassland attractive to migrants, but is under watched. The extensive mudflats hold many wading birds (best viewed some three/four hours before/after high tide). Visible migration is also rewarding here, and sea-watching can provide good, but distant, views of migrating and wintering seabirds. Another easily viewed area is Mosco Pool that can hold a good mix of duck.
  • North Kent Marshes - Hoo

    InformationSatellite View
    From the village a series of footpaths lead to the northern bank of the Medway. Inland, pools and floods near Abbott's Court are usually productive, as is scanning the old sewage farm beds there, which can hold Jack Snipe and Water Pipit in late winter.
  • North Kent Marshes - Horrid Hill

    InformationSatellite View
    Part of the Riverside Country Park, the Hill (actually a promontory) provides excellent views over the Medway islands, and large numbers of wildfowl and waders. Early birders who beat the dog-walkers might find resting night migrants. Just to the west lies a small sheltered pond attractive to small migrants, as is the scrubland of Eastcourt Meadows, the westernmost part of the park, where Yellow-browed Warbler has been found. To the east of Horrid Hill, the main footpath runs alongside more saltings and creeks that often hold many birds, often close inshore.
  • North Kent Marshes - Lower Halstow

    InformationSatellite View
    A little gem of a reserve, consisting of a mix of scrub and reed-bed. The seawall may be followed northwards along the edge of the paddocks and orchards of Ham Green, with good views over the mudflats and islands lying offshore.
  • North Kent Marshes - Motney

    InformationSatellite View
    Another promontory on the Medway, giving views over the estuary. Take the footpath along the western edge, to reach a small grassy viewpoint at the northernmost tip, near to a regular wader roost, and the deep channel of Bartlett Creek, often holding diving duck and scarcer grebes in season. Scrub and an extensive reedbed complex dominate the western half.
  • North Kent Marshes - Murston

    InformationSatellite View
    Located opposite Elmley at the mouth of the Swale and can also attract skuas and petrels. It offers good views over the Swale whilst the old clay pits regularly attract Scaup in winter.
  • North Kent Marshes - Northward Hill

    InformationSatellite View
    The site of Britain’s largest heronry. To the west there is a recently created small scrape which attracts a good range of waders although only long-range viewing is possible so smaller waders may be missed.
  • North Kent Marshes - Oare

    WebpageSatellite View
    The reserve at Oare attracts good numbers of waders and, since it is fairly small, these are often closer at hand than elsewhere. It has attracted Long-billed Dowitcher, Buff-breasted Sandpiper, White-rumped Sandpiper, Semi-plamated Sandpiper and, in winter, Shorelark, Snow Bunting and Twite. Great at any time of year with a large percentage of the UKs Black-tailed godwits, regular curlew sandpipers, stints etc.
  • North Kent Marshes - Seasalter & Graveney Marshes

    InformationSatellite View
    The walk along the Swale from the Sportsman at Seasalter is often very good for waders and in season, passing skuas. In recent years the area has attracted its own share of rarities - Sociable Plover, White-tailed Eagle & Blyth's Pipit included. Graveney Marshes are now managed by RSPB.
  • North Kent Marshes - Stoke Saltings

    InformationSatellite View
    Although the area is extensively shot over, birding can still be rewarding here. It is probably the most regular site for Twite on the Hoo Peninsula. Walk the seawall from Lower Stoke village towards Grain to view marshland, reed-fringed pools and a myriad of creeks and islands.
  • Reculver - Bishopstone Glen

    WebsiteSatellite View
    The bushes at Chambers Wall and Shuart Lane provide useful shelter for migrants (rarities in this general area have included Booted, Yellow-browed, Greenish, Arctic & Pallas's Warbler, Woodchat Shrike & Desert Wheatear). In 2001, Dusky Warbler was recorded here. A popular spot for sea-watching, especially when North/North Easterlies prevail.
  • Reculver - Chambers Wall

    WebsiteSatellite View
    Excellent during migration periods with the long hedges full of warblers or thrushes and the reedy ditches good for waders and ducks.
  • Reculver - Reculver Towers

    WebsiteSatellite View
    Good numbers of skuas, regular Leach's Petrel, Sooty Shearwaters & Sabine's Gull. A popular spot for sea-watching, especially when North/North Easterlies prevail.
  • Reculver - Shuart Lane

    WebsiteSatellite View
    A regular trapping so well watched area turns up a lot of good birds on passage. A farm pull-in is a great place to scope across Reculver marshes for raptors.
  • Sandwich - Monk's Wall

    InformationSatellite View
    A shadow of its rarity attracting past as it barely floods but can turn up some interesting birds.
  • Sandwich - Pegwell Bay

    InformationSatellite View
    A little further north of Sandwich this is a site where a telescope is vital and knowledge of the tides is very useful. For optimum viewing try to arrive an hour either side of high tide. Rare and scarce waders are regularly found (e.g. Kentish Plover) along with good passing birds (Bluethroat, Osprey, Red Kite amongst others). A hide and a public car-park are amongst it's assets.
  • Sandwich - Sandwich Bay Bird Observatory

    Observatory WebsiteSatellite View
    As an accredited bird observatory and registered charity SBBOT is committed to the conservation and recording of the natural environment in the Sandwich Bay area, and in so doing offers opportunities for education, training and research.
  • Seaton Gravel Pits

    WebpageSatellite View
    Provides habitat for diving duck lacking elsewhere in the valley - regular species include wintering Smew, Goosander and Goldeneye. It also attracts Bittern. Recent rarities have included Ferruginous Duck, Ring-necked Duck & Iberian Chiffchaff. The stream holds Grey Wagtail and the surrounding trees Siskin, Redpoll etc.
  • Sevenoaks Area - Bough Beech

    WebpageSatellite View
    No longer managed by KWT
  • Sevenoaks Area - Sevenoaks Wildlife Reserve

    WebpageSatellite View
    Good for: Little Ringed Plover, Egyptian Geese, winter finches,
  • Sheppey - Capel Fleet & Raptor Watchpoint

    WebpageSatellite View
    At the eastern end of the island Capel Fleet is the best area for raptors - Marsh & Hen Harrier, Merlin, Peregrine, Kestrel and Sparrowhawk are regular with Red Kite & Rough-legged Buzzard recorded in recent years and increasing numbers of Common Buzzard. Short-eared and barn Owls are regular with Little Owl seen around Sayes Court Farm. There is now a raptor watchpoint (see map) so one can scan the fields and look along the fleet. It is also a good place to see wintering White-fronted Geese and the flock has included Pinkfeet, Bean, Barnacle and even Lesser White-fronted Geese.
  • Sheppey - Elmey

    WebsiteSatellite View
    The national nature reserve at Elmley attracts a wide variety of waders and wildfowl throughout the year, including a fair proportion of rarities. It is of national importance holding a significant percentage of breeding lapwing as well as an increasing number of waders. Winter is excellent for all 5 owls and raptors as well as wildfowl and waders. It is uniquely the only privately owned national nature reserve - fortunately for us all the owners are very committed to conservation and access.
  • Sheppey - Swale National Nature Reserve

    InformationSatellite View
    At the eastern extremity of the island is hampered by hides, which are too distant from the wader pools. The wader roost on the nearby shingle beach can be good (though care needs to be exercised here) and the autumn sea watching from the beach at Shellness (GR 023663) in NW winds can be excellent. The walk from Church (GR 055679) to Shellness can be good, though retracing one’s steps is a chore.
  • Sheppey - Warden Point

    InformationSatellite View
    Has potential as a migration hot spot - Pallas's & Yellow-browed Warbler and Red-breasted Flycatcher have been noted.
  • Snodland - New Hythe

    InformationSatellite View
    With Dungeness the gravel pits at Snodland are excellent for wintering Smew and other ducks. Recent rarities have included Ferruginous Duck, Purple Heron & Penduline Tit. It is also a good wintering site for Long-eared Owl and Bittern
  • Stour Valley - Grove Ferry

    InformationSatellite View
    Here the conversion of the old turf fields on the eastern edge of the reserve has created a superb wetland habitat that has already attracted impressive numbers of Garganey, Lapwing, Golden Plover, Hobby and rarities including; Collared Pratincole, Long-billed Dowitcher, Slender-billed Gull, Baillon's Crake, Blue-winged Teal. Splendid species seen here in 2001 included Sharp-tailed Sandpiper, Spotted Crake and Pectoral Sandpiper.
  • Stour Valley - Stodmarsh

    InformationSatellite View
    The traditional hot spot in the valley, but has recently been outshone by the new extension to the reserve at Grove Ferry. The Stodmarsh ‘end’ remains one of the best places in the county to witness winter roost of Hen Harriers, glimpse the odd wintering Bittern and catch up with Bearded Tit. On fine calm evenings in late March at (or just after sunset) can be a good time for picking up departing Bitterns (sometimes in double figures) as they rise out from the reedbeds and fly back to the continent grunting as they do so. It's also a good time to see Woodcock on the path. The elm trees can be good for Treecreeper, Redpolls & Siskin and occasionally has held wintering Firecrest and Yellow-browed Warblers.For sightings see: http://www.kentos.org.uk/blogs-sightings/stour-valley/
  • Stour Valley - Westbere

    WebpageSatellite View
    Towards Canterbury has suffered from the proximity of Stodmarsh - it holds similar birds to Stodmarsh, but being much less well watched has produced fewer surprises. Odonata fans are well served with Norfolk Hawker now found here.
  • Thanet - Foreness Point

    WebpageSatellite View
    Sea watching off Foreness Point can also be productive. In winter this coast holds numbers of Purple Sandpiper and Rock Pipit which can be found at any of the bays with careful searching, as can black redstart and the less sure horned (shore) lark.
  • Thanet - Margate Cemetery

    WebpageSatellite View
    Turns up plenty of scarcities, the odd rarity and several megas!
  • Thanet - Minnis Bay

    InformationSatellite View
    The mudflats extending from here to reculver are always good for a variety of waders and the sea wall sometimes has Snow Buntings in winter but the real attraction here is seawatching. The handily placed shelter on the cliff keeps out the worst weather and anything can and does turn up, stormy weather in the right season can have anything from Leach's Petrel to Sabines Gulls and all the Skuas as well as auks, divers and shearwaters. Great place too for viz mig.
  • Thanet - North Foreland

    WebpageSatellite View
    Sea-watching here can produce skuas, alcids, divers, etc. in winter and waders between here and the beach at Joss Bay include purple sandpiper and rarities on passage. The area around the sewage pumping station (regular horned lark) and cabbage fields may turn up anything during migration and local patch birders see good numbers of ring-ousels, wryneck, etc.
  • Thanet - Northdown Park

    WebpageSatellite View
    Northdown Park whilst much busier than the cemetery has had some notable rarities which includes regular Pallas's and yellow-browed warbler, firecrest etc. It was one of the first places in the UK to have a population of ring-necked parakeets and a morning's visit will often produce 100 or more screaming overhead. Early mornings in passage times can produce good numbers of migrants or even a view of the Fatbirder in its nesting habitat.
