At the side of the road down to the old #Pegwell hoverport I spotted ♂️ & ♀️ hairy-footed flower bees on the dead nettles. Amazing to witness & film but I was equally surprised to see a spider step in & try and break it up! 🎥🌞🪻🐝🐝🕷️💚👍 #hoverport #spring #wildlife #saveminstermarshes #RethinkSeaLink

I went to check on the Weatherlees heronry on Minster marshes today. It seemed the heronry was abandoned last year so I was pleased to see at least one Grey Heron sitting on a nest. 📷🌥️💚👍#saveminstermarshes #RethinkSeaLink

National Grid were out on Minster Marshes today. They seem to think they have found the perfect spot to build a massive electricity converter station on. Not at all water logged, marshy and home to loads of wildlife! 🎥⛅️🦅💚👍#saveminstermarshes #rethinksealink

This morning a Cormorant lay dead beneath the pylons on Minster Marshes.

The thin wire that had ended its life hummed faintly in the breeze, oblivious to the life it had extinguished.

National grid want to add ever more, bigger pylons 😡

National Grid has named a preferred bidder for Sea Link’s converter stations, a move that would devastate Minster Marshes.
