Guide in a Train 20 February 2025

A second superb day with members of our Guide in a Hide team helping on the the Kent & East Sussex Heritage Railway steam train. 

Although the morning started very misty with poor visibility, we were able to enjoy the beautiful views for the train as it chugged along.

The train was filled to capacity, with many grandparents looking after their grandchildren for the day. 

24 different birds were seen. It was amazing to hear passengers announcing their own sightings out loud to the rest of the carriage!

Highlights of the day were a Red Kite, seen by the train’s historian, a Marsh Harrier, several Buzzards, a Kestrel and a Green Woodpecker.

Again, our thanks to https://kesr.org.uk/ for inviting us to join in with their venture. It was a pleasure to help.
