New Forest Holiday Day 3 : Keyhaven: 28th June 2011
On the afternoon of the third day of our New Forest Holiday we decided to head for the coast and go to Keyhaven near Lymington. We drove to the parking place at the end of Hurst Beach and then we walked the length of the causeway out to Hurst Castle. As we walked past the mudflats at the start of the causeway there were several Mute Swans, Black-headed Gulls and Herring Gulls. As we walked along the causeway we also saw Great Black-backed Gulls, a Little Egret, Lapwing and Shelduck. As we neared the castle we started to see Skylarks rising from the scrub around the island.
