A very fun and busy day yesterday at Living Land with @birdwiseek 🎪
Over the course of the day, we managed to speak to nearly 400 people about the damage human recreational disturbance can do to birdlife and what we can all do to help reduce it 🐦
Thank you to all the students and staff who got involved in our activities throughout the day!
If you’d like us to visit your school, please get in touch with us! ✏️

👋 See you there!
🤔 Our panel of judges for the 2026 East Kent Coast Photography Awards were hard at work this morning, selecting the finalists for this year's exhibition!
🙏 Many thanks to the wonderful @coastalartcoffee for hosting, and of course to all of our amazing judges.
👀 Watch this space for news about the exhibition of shortlisted images, which goes on tour around galleries in East Kent this summer!
🤔 Can you decipher our coastal waders in pixelated form?
🤓 Sometimes, we only get a glimpse or a partial view of birds while we're out along the coast, so a bit of brain-training to help you identify birds from only colours, shapes and patterns can never be a bad thing!
🙌 We'll have a few more of these winter-wader rounds coming up before Spring, so keep your eyes peeled!
🙌 For #InternationalWomensDay, there's a free guided walk taking place at Pegwell Bay on Wednesday 4 March, from 10am til 12pm!
🪿 Join Helena (Sandwich Bay Ranger at @wccpnews ) for a great chance to boost your skills and confidence in wildlife identification, discover a new place, and connect with nature and like-minded people.
🫶 This event is LGBTQ+ inclusive, and is open to women of all backgrounds and experience levels – from seasoned birders to those just starting their wildlife journey.
