Today's stop and discovery point was #CamberSands, near #Rye, at the estuary mouth of the River Rother. On a day like today, warm, cloudless, and a slight south-easterly wind blowing, it was fabulous. Added bonus - almost empty.👍

A further bonus was being able to spot a common tern, a little tern, and a sandwich tern between the dunes and the water's edge.
