Viewing along Faversham Creek with an old wreck to the left and a couple of red buoys visible. I'm sheltered under bushes away from the rain and wind. The tide was out, and there were roosting Black-headed and Herring Gulls. Also, there were feeding Redshank, Teal, Little Grebe, and Cormorant. It was also here that the Grey Wagtail and Greenshank flew through.
