    Default Keyhaven update

    Just a note to say that the raised path between Milford on Sea and the Keyhaven yacht clubs is closed for repairs at present. So, if anyone wishes to see Sturt Pond AND walk along the marshes, it is best to park at Milford for the former and to use the car park in front of the Gun Inn at Keyhaven for the latter!

    On Monday there were lots of Turnstones at Keyhaven, with a 'patchy' feather pattern now though!

    But I DID see my first Greenshank there - paddling some distance from two Mallards and Moorhen.

    LOL, well hopefully they'll have finished the path by the time I'm down next. Although the Keyhaven side to the East is better for birds anyway.

    Nice photos Catherine, like the Turnstones.

    Well, the path is fixed now!

    Maybe this was the same Greenshank on Sturt Pond last week?
