Orlestone Forest

As Dungeness would be busy today I decided to go to the woods. Driving along Brittania Lane I saw the familiar shapes of 20 Waxwings in the tops of the road side bushes, they were dropping down out of sight into a garden to feed then back up. As I pulled up to try and photograph them ,it seemed every man and his dog come out to see what I was doing. So I left them to it.
Orlestone was very wet and muddy which seemed to deter most people. The bright sunshine seemed to bring out the woodland birds, including all 3 woodpecker species. Nuthatch's and Treecreepers, Blue, Great, Coal and Long-tailed Tits, were numerous and even a few Redpolls were found.
