I have set up this blog to record my bird and general wildlife sightings in the 5 mile radius of my home. This includes my local patch - New Hythe/Leybourne Lakes. This is an inland area of West Kent, a few miles from Maidstone. I rarely stray more than a few miles from this area these days. I live in a village called Birling which is at the foot of the North Downs and about 1.5 miles from New Hythe.

Sunday 30th November
Finding it really difficult to find any time at all to get out at the moment. A brief 45 minute trip out from 4pm (almost dark!) to 4.45pm (pitch black!) My target bird, Bittern, did not show although it was seen on Saturday and during the last week by others. A few squealing Water Rail, a calling Cettis, several Goldcrest and Redwing were again about it.
Hi Steve.

Better luck next time mate.
Hi Steve, having a similar problem in not being able to get out, still hopefully soon!
