WINTER WALK AROUND STONELEES

A morning walk around Stonelees and first to show itself was a group of around 25 Fieldfare feeding on the Hawthorn berries and as is there nature as soon as I was spotted by them they took flight.

Continuing work by Kent Wildlife Trust to restore the ancient Duneland Pasture at Stonelees with the aid of the Highland Cattle and work with contractors creating new ponds is starting to produce a fantastic habitat.
