Sandwich and Pegwell Bay
The Sandwich and Pegwell Bay reserve is of international importance for its waders and wildfowl, best seen over winter or during the spring and autumn migrations. In winter, common waders such as dunlin, curlew, oystercatcher and redshank are joined by nationally important numbers of sanderling and grey plover. All these are best seen on the mudflats of Pegwell Bay. In summer, redshank, shelduck and oystercatcher stay to breed, and are joined on the shingle by ringed plovers and the rare little tern.
