Oare Marshes in North Kent on a sunny day with a rising tide has to be a great place for close views of waders. Flocks of golden plovers, avocets, dunlins, lapwings and black-tailed godwits gave fantastic views in the autumn sun. With no signs of predator activity, these birds seemed to fly just for the sake of it. The golden plovers looked almost electric as they turned this way and that, the sun catching the gold, then the white contrasting with the lapwings that joined them. “Scar-face” a regular little egret was most confiding at the edge of the tide while the avocets stayed slightly further out in the scrape.
