On Tuesday RSPB volunteers and group members visited the new RSPB reserve at Seasalter. Alan Johnson, North Kent Reserves area manager, gave the group a conducted tour of the reserve and explained the future management of the area. Although there is a lot of habitat restoration required it is hoped that within five years the reserve will support good numbers of breeding waders such as lapwings and redshanks. He explained that there would not be any visitor access for the foreseeable future.
