MOST RECENT UPDATE - 19 December Updates from Elmley on Coronavirus

​Ready for a change of scene from behind your latop, come and work from Elmley

A very large high tide and calm, hot day gave good afternoon count conditions for this months survey. Dry conditions have likely reduced number of waders and some duck but highlights are the return of wintering birds like wigeon, and waders like snipe on the hide pools. Lovely to note 3 wood sandpipers. In addition to the count we have spotted returning Short Eared Owls along the sea walls, Merlin near the entry gate and a large raft of Great Crested Grebes on the Swale from the viewing screen.

Exciting changes again at Elmley!

Wader Catch Report from 21st July 2020 A team of volunteers assembled on the Reserve at dusk on the 21st of July with the aim of catching and ringing wading birds under licence from the British Trust for Ornotholgy (BTO).
