Description
Swalecliffe, Whitstable and Herne Bay are all joined together, making it a long coastal 'strip' of a urban built up area. Swalecliffe - Long Rock is a prime seawatching spot. In the last three years Labbe parasite, Grand Labbe, Labbe pomarin, Océanite tempête, Océanite culblanc, Puffin fuligineux, Puffin des Baléares and Mergule nain have all been seen in Autumn/Early Winter (Northerly onshore winds are best). The site has a very long list of birds, some of which are Guillemot à miroir, Macreuse brune, Plongeon catmarin, Plongeon arctique, Plongeon imbrin, Macreuse noire, Garrot à oeil d'or, Courlis cendré, Bécasseau maubèche, Bécasseau sanderling and Barge à queue noire. Be sure to check out the churchyard area and sewage works for Passerines, the more open area and stream can have Chevalier culblanc, Tourterelle des bois, Bergeronnette printanière, Pipit des arbres and Fauvette babillarde, look out for passing raptors such as Balbuzard pêcheur, Faucon émerillon, Faucon pèlerin and Busard des roseaux, all depending on season of course.
