After the morning walk along Darland Bank NR (see yesterdays post) Keith and I walked down to the estuary of the River Medway at Riverside CP.
Approaching the river through Eastcourt meadows, we were delighted by the number of Red Admirals and Small Tortoiseshell butterflies that could be seen.
We reached the estuary and apart from some Oystercatchers it was very quiet.
We also visited Sharp’s Green Pond where there were Moorhen nesting. Common Blue Damselfly and Blue-tailed Damselfly were also present.

Pete's Favourite Things 
We saw Common Tern x 2 by Strand. Singing Song Thrushes and I got a snatch of Nightingale.
Thanks for that. I knew I would probably forget something.
There was a dating error on some of the sightings in my electronic log which meant they were not included in day list. Have now added updated list to post. Have also added Common Tern which I had forgotten.
