  1. #Choughs breed in #Kent for first time in 200 years theguardian.com/environment/ar

    A young pair among eight #birds released last year defied expectations to successfully breed this summer, making a nest on #DoverCastle and rearing one chick, which fledged in June. The milestone is an unexpectedly early success for the long-term project to bring the red-billed birds back to the Kent coastline.

  2. Can just make out #DoverCastle on the top best of luck with the festival!

  3. Madness at #Dover again - some sort of IT glitch apparently - approach road was coned off just as we arrived at the roundabout. On the plus side got to drive past #Dovercastle which was packed for an event -must be awful for the local people with gridlocks. People already here at the port waiting 3hrs-PortOfDover on birdsite saying its 30 min wait haha! -not not clear why they don’t reopen #Ramsgate and the old #Hoverport-mad to have one gateway at the shortest sea crossing to Europe -oh dear..

  8. #SubterraneanSaturday

    Bit out of the norm as you can actually visit this tunnel complex deep beneath #DoverCastle in #Kent. This is a photo of the #TelephoneExchange in the #CasemateLevel of the #tunnels. Rare to see it without the public tho. 😉

    There are actually 5 levels, the staff say there are 3, and 1 hasn't been found.

    A - #Annex - done
    B - #Bastion - missing?
    C - #Casemate - done
    D - #DUMPY - done
    E - #Esplanade - done (they say it doesn't exist lol.)

    Will post more later on. 👍
