A 'Big Adventure' to Leysdown-on-Sea, the Isle of Sheppey

To Leysdown-on-Sea to hopefully find a Bird or two. Species seen:

Black-Headed Gull
Crow
Curlew
Herring Gull
Magpie
Oystercatcher
Pheasant
Pied Wagtail
Redshank (see below)
Sandwich Tern (see below)
Starling
Swallow
Turnstone (see below) 
and Wood Pigeon



Wild flower' species seen included Sea Holly (see below), Sea Milkwort and Sea Spurge (see below):



And we didn't neglect the Lichens, finding inter alia, Caloplaca saxicola:


Our visit acted as a reminder that although it is nice to visit Leysdown-on-Sea, it is very isolated (as is Sheppey in general) and that we are super-lucky to live in SE London with so much on our doorstep.
