Cogito ergo sum
Owing to Covid-19, this is my first venture over the channel in my camper:
Day 1: 21 May 2022
Drive to Newhaven - Red Kites c20 en route.
4 Great Black-backed Gulls with Herrings near Newhaven ferry port.
Newhaven - Dieppe: Gannets, Kittiwakes, Lesser Black-backed Gulls.
Overnight stop at Arques la Bataille near Dieppe: Lovely spot next to some small lakes. Tawny Owl heard.
Day 2: 22 May 2022
Arques La Bataille
Awoke to the sound of a Cuckoo and the song of a Garden Warbler. Quite misty and cold out at first but dry. Early morning walk around the lakes revealed the following:
Spotted Flycatcher, Coot, Cuckoo, Garden Warblers (3 or 4), Sedge Warblers, Chiffchaff,
G C Grebes, Blackbird, Wren, Robin, Mute Swans
Chaffinches, Greenfinch, Wood Pigeons,
Grey Heron, Cetti's Warbler, Dunnock,
House Sparrow.
