Volunteer guides were on Rye Harbour Nature Reserve yesterday, sharing their knowledge, enthusiasm, binoculars and telescopes!

At least 133 people stopped by to chat, excited that we had had at least three sightings of our star bird, the Osprey. Many people walked away looking up at the sky, out to sea and all around to try and spot it. It was terrific!

In all, we saw 39 species of birds. Apart from the Osprey, the feeding frenzy of Sandwich Terns and Gannets in the river mouth towards the end of the day were highlights.

Thanks to everyone who came along, we enjoyed meeting you!
