Beschrijving
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 Kleine Jager, Grote Jager, Middelste Jager, Stormvogeltje, Vaal Stormvogeltje, Grauwe Pijlstormvogel, Vale Pijlstormvogel and Kleine Alk 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 Zwarte Zeekoet, Grote Zee-eend, Roodkeelduiker, Parelduiker, IJsduiker, Zwarte Zee-eend, Brilduiker, Wulp, Kanoet, Drieteenstrandloper and Grutto. Be sure to check out the churchyard area and sewage works for Passerines, the more open area and stream can have Witgat, Zomertortel, Gele Kwikstaart, Boompieper and Braamsluiper, look out for passing raptors such as Visarend, Smelleken, Slechtvalk and Bruine Kiekendief, all depending on season of course.
