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.
10 minute scan of Alders and Tesco Lake at 12.30 today. 3 Sand Martin sweeping low over Tesco in the rain. Also probable Med Gull amongst BH Gulls. Distant and no scope and had kids in the car so couldn't move around for a better view. Should get out for a proper visit tomorrow.

Well done Steve. I've been keeping an eye open through the patio doors this morning in the hope of spotting a Sand Martin over Alders lakes but to no avail. Will look a bit harder now!
Nice find Steve. You found what your fellow Bloggers have been looking for. Hope you see them again tomorrow.
Hi Steve,lucky boy,I went down to Alders and Tesco at 1530 (20th) but no luck with the martins.
Good to see you can still make the odd visit steve. I'm out all the time and still havn't seen a sand martin!
