Saturday 21st March 2009 Minster Thanet - River Stour

Since last Tuesday I have been told of a large Grey Seal in the River Stour between Minster and Plucks Gutter, I have looked every day and have not seen a sign of it. At 1100am today a friend returning from walking her dog called in to say where she had just seen it so I rushed off. Success it was resting on the Ash side of the River. Butterflies about today were quite a few Tortoiseshells one Peacock and a Small White. (Don Wilks)
