The group of folks that showed up for the British Arachnological Society Field Meeting at Rye Harbour, its all very techy stuff but was great fun to hang out with them, even if I didn't understand half of what they said...lol We had seriously high winds but we still managed to find a few species that are in need of monitoring and protecting, so all in all a very good day.

BAS Field Meeting at Rye Harbour Nature Reserve, where we were in search of some of the more rare spiders recorded. Finally one of the rarities, this lovely jumper was nice enough to let us take photos.

While we were there this Parent did a quick flyby to make sure the young were ok.

Another bird that just doesn't belong in trees, we were lucky enough to be with Chris Bently one of the Wardens at Rye Harbour NR, and got a rare view from the back end of the Comorants nests.

BAS Field Meeting at Rye Harbour Nature Reserve, where we were in search of some of the more rare spiders recorded. Found this guy dragging what I thought was a wasp or sawfly across the shingle, but looking at it, it appears more like a large ant.
