Quite a bit cooler today, so we went for a walk around Rye Harbour Nature Reserve. We were last there in 2012, see:
There is a new “Discovery Centre” opened recently (replacing a hut) with info on the reserve:
And an excellent cafe, with some seats by the window, complete with binoculars!
We also joined the Sussex Wildlife Trust while were there and finally (at least according to Rocco) set off for a walk:
It was quite windy along the coast. Rocco eventually found a bit of a stick on the shingle:
and once we got to the sea, he loved retrieving it from the waves:
There are many hides on the reserve; this one was good as there was a lot of bird activity just outside it:
The habitat changed as we headed inland:
And we headed to the ruins of Camber Castle, where we found a sheltered alcove to have our lunch:
The castle is no longer open to the public due to its condition, but we could have a peek inside through the gates:
Then back to the car. A nice 6 mile walk, though very windy at times!
