Monday 29th January 2007 Ramsgate
29/1. A Red Admiral was fluttering around Ramsgate in rather
cool and overcast conditions - presumably having been disturbed from its
hibernation site. (F Solly)
Sunday 28th January 2007 Seaton
Gravel Pits
A bright spot in the walk around Seaton this morning
was a prolonged view of a Stoat along the lake shoreline, foraging
amongst the fallen branches of an old ash tree. (Norman M)
Thursday 25th January 2007 Late
News
Checked the 'Bat' Cave at Monkton Nature Reserve on 21/1/07 for
hibernating lepidoptera - 4 Peacocks and 3 Heralds - similar
counts to just about every winter that I have checked it (and obviously
very disappointing as I was after a rarity). A few Common Daisy and
Sweet Violet in flower on the way to the cave. (F Solly)
Monday 22nd January 2007 Stodmarsh NNR
In
the past few weeks there have been a few Clouded Agarics (Clitocybe
nebulosa) under an oak tree at the start of the nature trail footpath
at the Stodmarsh car park end. Last year I found them just before
Christmas, this year they appear to be a bit later. (Norman M)
Sunday 21st January 2007 Seaton Gravel Pits
On the
botanical front there is a plant of Common Hogweed in full flower
by the carp lake; extraordinary! (Norman M)

Saturday 6th January 2007 Margate Sands
There were 79 Common Seals basking on Margate Sands at low-tide
this morning. (Tim Hodge)
Friday 5th January 2007 River Stour Pegwell Bay
There
were no fewer than 23 Common Seals in the river mouth at Pegwell
Bay this morning, all but two basking on the mud as the tide came up. I also
saw a Grey Seal there about a month ago. (Tim Hodge) Could this be a Pegwell record?
(most Likely! but if you no different please let me know Gadget)
Thursday 4th January 2007 Ellington
Park, Ramsgate
I have to report the sighting of three Red Admirals in Ellington
Park, Ramsgate at midday today; all three were seen close-up and all
appeared to be 'fresh'. (Phil Charlton)
Tuesday 2nd January 2007 Westgate Thanet
I saw a tatty Peacock butterfly in my garden in Westgate on New
Year’s day. (Tim Hodge)
