The southeastern corner of England is a densely populated region but one which holds many rich bird habitats. For example, on the south coast of East Sussex & Kent there are undisturbed shingle beaches supporting nationally important tern colonies, & inland there are Surrey heaths, important for many nationally scarce species like Dartford Warbler & Woodlark. In north Kent there is a network of important sites along the Swale estuary which are of great importance for passage & wintering waders & wildfowl. These counties also often attract large numbers of passage migrants, including vagrant rarities from the continent. This guide explores the best birding sites in Kent, Surrey & Sussex.
