Hamstreet in the parish of Orlestone is on the edge of the Romney Marsh. The main aim of this blog is to record the birds that I see in my garden,in Hamstreet and the surrounding area. As my knowledge grows other fauna and flora will be recorded. I also travel around Kent to look at birds and will post some of my sightings/trips.

A couple of additions
On Sunday I made a brief visit to Dungeness and driving out of Hamstreet at 5:30 a lovely Barn Owl was flying along the ditch at the side of the road looking for its breakfast.
The visit to Dunge proved to be a non event, an hour and halfs seawatching from 05:45 - 07:15 produced Gannets and Common Terns, and that was it. With the wind and overcast weather early on there was very little else around so I went home.
Yesterday I had a meeting to attend to which meant I had the novelty of catching the train. Heading up to Hamstreet station via the footpath along side the bridge a Turtle Dove was calling. I spent a few minutes locating it in the tree before then rushing for the train I nearly missed!
