Birding in Kent
Written by the author of "Birdwatching in Kent" (1985), this book brings the story up to date. Kent is one of the best counties in England for birdwatching, and this book is aimed at anyone visiting the area, as well as for those who live there.
Where to Watch Birds in Kent, Surrey and Sussex
The south-eastern corner of England is a densely populated region but one which holds many rich bird habitats. For example, on the south coast of East Sussex and Kent there are undisturbed shingle beaches supporting nationally important tern colonies, and inland there are Surrey heaths, important for many nationally scarce species like Dartford Warbler and Woodlark. In north Kent there is a network of important sites along the Swale estuary which are of great importance for passage and wintering waders and wildfowl.
Splendid oak woods support a large number of woodland species, including all three British woodpecker species. Further information and free Pdf Guide.....
Broadwater Warren
A wildlife-rich mosaic of heathland and native woodland with scrubby woodland margins, scattered stands of pines and rare woodland mire. Home to woodlark and nightjar.
Capel Fleet Watchpoint
Probably the best site in Britain for wintering raptors including short-eared owl, harriers, peregrine and merlin. The small RSPB car park offers a perfect vantage point.

Northward Hill
Northward Hill is an excellent woodland for birds. As well as nightingales and turtle doves, the wood has the largest heronry in the UK, with over 150 pairs of grey herons nesting in the treetops...
Oare Marshes
The reserve consists of over 81 hectares of grazing marsh with freshwater dykes, open water ‘scrapes’, seawall and saltmarsh. The reserve is of international importance for migratory, over-wintering and breeding wetland birds.
