Lovely to hear the corn buntings and so good to see that farmers are putting their agri-envir money to good use. I was lucky enough to hear nightingales at a Kent Wildlife Trust Local Wildlife Site a week ago. I hope your turtle doves return to your patch. If they haven't got caught up in the spring shoot in Malta that is! Poor things.

I'm not sure what parking is like at the golf course but I parked in one of the discreet laybys near the junction of Snodland Rd and Sandy Lane. From here walk down Sandy Lane, bearing left at the bottom past a few houses. Keep straight (ignore footpath veering left) and the road becomes another footpath. Follow this path where it turns right and the viewing point is just a few metres along. Look for a slightly trampled area near the fence and view the garden. I understand it has also been seen on the golf course further down.<br /><br />Best of luck - PeterPeterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02493843462375721507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7327954544529045882.post-32538973439263454672014-03-29T18:44:33.746+00:002014-03-29T18:44:33.746+00:00Hi Peter,
