Summer Programme
A visit to Rye Harbour

June 28th proved to be an excellent choice of date for our summer social to Rye Harbour with blue skies, warm sunshine and a gentle breeze. Members Sally, Paula, Mandy, Richard, Peter, John, David and Jane arrived as bright as the skies we were blessed with and set off on a leisurely walk towards the sea - passing but avoiding the temptations and culinary delights of the new visitor centre. This was a first visit to Rye for Mandy whilst for Richard it would be a first visit to the Castle - providing legs and energy levels remained for the afternoon.

Early sightings of reed bunting, oystercatchers and avocets kept people busy with cameras whilst the much rarer nesting Little Terns provided tantalising flight views if not photo opportunities. Other interest was found in the shingle vegetation of the reserve with yellow horned poppies and Viper's Bugloss in full flower. The ( probably ) photographic highlights, and frustrations, of the morning included endless attempts of Common Terns in flight from the hides with one amongst us racking up some 1,100 images of her own before lunch.

After a light refreshment in the Visitor Centre we continued to Castle Water Hide where we were welcomed by a very confiding Chiff Chaff. On the journey we enjoyed views of Marsh Harriers ( a first for Peter ) being harried by lapwings and oystercatcher in addition to a range of butterflies and swathes of pyramidal orchids. Butterflies included Small Tortoiseshell, Peacock, Comma, Small skipper, Meadow Brown, Small Heath and Marbled White together with the day flying Six Spotted Burnet moth. From the hide, nesting Little Egret and the ubiquitous Cormorants kept the cameras busy and a Pochard made a special appearance for Sally. After a brief stroll to the Castle for Richard we set off back for the cars - an enjoyable day spent in good company.

Colour Show 2023

The Hailsham Civic Community Hall has been booked for the next Colour Show on 3rd and 4th March 2023, so that we can resume bringing our photography, in the form of audio visual productions, to the local community.
