The 12 walks of christmas at Botany Bay

Join us on our nineth walk of christmas as part of our December series of walks, the 12 walks of christmas. As the name suggests throughout December we will be leading a total of 12 walks for the countdown to christmas. These walks will take place along our coastline between Whitstable and Pegwell Bay and each walk will be in dedication of a member of the daring dozen that usually calls it home. Please note we can not guarantee we will see the bird that the walk is in honour off however we have made sure we have chosen locations where we have the best chance of seeing the chosen species. For this walk we will be putting a spotlight on the sanderling. Botany Bay has one of the only high tide roosts along our coastline that can be left completely undisturbed due to the tide cutting of the beach. Making it a prime location to see a selection of waders. At Botany Bay you can see birds such as curlew, redshank, godwits and of course sanderling. The walk will take you along by foreness point which is a good spot to see turnstones on the coastal side and meadow pipits and other smaller garden birds on the inland side. We'll be meeting just opposite the Botany Bay Hotel. There is free parking at the end of Botany Road, and public toilets are sometimes available at Botany Bay. Failing that, toilets are available for paying customers in the Botany Bay Hotel We reccommend wearing appropriate footwear and warm clothing as it can get chilly up on the cliff so wrap up warm.
