Birding the Southern Medway - A New Blog by Tideway Birder Kevin Thornton

Kevin Thornton is a tideway birder covering the Medway Estuary part of the North Kent Marshes, limited to the southern shore. He routinely watches between the head of the Estuary at St. Mary's Island, Chatham, to the Estuary mouth just above Queenborough Spit-some eighteen or so miles as the seawall rat scuttles.

In 2013 Kevin set himself the task to understand the Estuary better, particularly the more common birdlife.

Those of you that already follow Kevin on his excellent Twitter account '@dunnokev' will have enjoyed his interesting pictures of the Estuary and interacting with his regular Tweets.

Kevin regularly posts to his NEW Blog 'Birding the southern Medway'. In his own words Kevin's Blog “is an attempt to piece together some random thoughts on the more common birds found about the Medway Estuary, part of the North Kent Marshes”.

In his latest Blog Post 'Boris Waters' Kevin has written an interesting piece about Seaplane disturbance within the Medway Estuary, which we're sure will be of interest to people living in and around the Ham Green area of the village and to others further afield too.
