Getting to the end of a great day's workshop on intentional camera movement. Out on the Kent marshes near the Swale - a tidal channel of the Thames estuary. Wonderful crisp winter light all day, and now this lovely pink and blue twilight,
This Gull is keeping a close eye on me, just in case I have something tasty!

A surreal promontory of shingle, Dungeness lies on a headland on the south part of Romney Marsh. It is formed largely of a shingle beach in the form of a foreland, between New Romney, Lydd and Camber on Romney Marsh and shelters a large area of the low-lying land Romney Marsh, this place is so weird, but beautiful.

Another long exposure from Margate. With this one I was enjoying all the little disparate objects in the distance.
A fabulous surprise, a Wall Lizard saying hello and living in the flint wall around North Foreland Lighthouse, a lovely start to a walk along the cliffs and footpaths of the most easterly part of Kent.
A strange architectural approach to a pleasure pier? But I'm a big fan of concrete and brutalism, so found it far more arresting than the usual wrought iron filigree affairs.
The white cliffs of the Kent Coast can be seen in the distance from the clifftops of Folkestone across East Wear Bay.
Very busy along Seasalter beach/marshes, the only wildlife I saw was this male Reed Bunting pecking at the sea wall
It's time to get away for this year, many places to go and freinds to see, Scotland, Cornwall, Cambridge, Norfolk and a long walk along the Kent Coast, so I will dip in from time to time otherwise enjoy the summer fabulous people and I will see you in the Autumn XXXXX
Still dark night shot of Ramsgate Western Outer Marina looking across to the entrance and Harbour Lights Restaurant and port control on the East Pier.

Raucous Black-headed Gulls are common sights and sounds across much of Europe and Asia. The head is actually dark brown rather than black in summer, molting to dusky white in winter. This highly adaptable species breeds in freshwater wetlands and winters in sheltered coastal areas..

Walking along the coastal path where Oare creek meets the Swale and the isle of Sheppey beyond beautiful day will go back later in the year late autumn when the Waders arrive from Europe. But if near will pop back just for the breakfast at the Creek cafe!!
The Sedge Warbler is a small, brown, streaky warbler that migrates to the UK during the summer months, spending winters in Africa. They are found in marshy and wetland habitats, and are known for their energetic and varied songs. They are a common sight in reedbeds and along the edges of marshes
I could hear them and then suddenly they were over my head and got 1 close shot before they landed on the marsh a stunning beautiful bird.

The European Linnet (Carduelis cannabina) is a small passerine bird in the finch family Fringillidae. It derives its scientific name from its fondness for hemp and its English name from its liking for seeds of flax, from which linen is made.

First roll of film I've put through this camera since c.2006! Had a few issues with the shutter jamming but once it got moving it worked OK. Please it works still! First time I've used Fomapan too!!
These guys have a great way to keep cool on a hot day!
The temperature is heading towards the mid 30s 'c'.
Taken off the Kent coast.

This is part of an installation of six cartoon bungalows around Folkestone in Kent by artist Richard Woods. They are installed in unusual locations like the beach and this floating platform in Folkestone Harbour.
Woods hopes the installations will highlight a big contributor to the housing crisis - that many people in the UK have more than one home, some have as many as 10, while others have nowhere to live.....
The project is called Holiday Homes....
My thanks goes to Flickr friend f1jherbert who kindly pointed me in the right direction as regards the artist and the works significance.....
Thanks for visiting.....
Beautiful marshes & dykes as you walk along the coastal path by the Swale estuary tranquil and so rural with amazing wildlife all around you..
East Flood is a significant feature within Oare Marshes, a designated nature reserve located near Faversham in Kent, England. The East Flood is a large area of grazing marsh with freshwater dykes, open water scrapes, reedbed, and saltmarsh, and is a popular spot for birdwatching and other wildlife observation
They have become a species of high conservation concern - a Red Listed species - owing to a dramatic decline since the 1970s. The most likely cause is changes in farming practices, such as smaller field margins and using herbicides to kill the weeds, which means there are fewer weed seeds, and autumn sowing of crops, which means there is less stubble in winter.
