Good Morning Guys,The area of Kent in SE UK in which I Live
is called Romney Marsh the area is approx 190 sq km the whole area used to be "under the sea" so the landscape is very flat!! I first came here in the 60's, on vacation with my parents .As we used to live in London then, I had never encountered Nature or wildlife these times got me interested in both!! without them we would not exist! we must train people to respect Mother Nature good or bad she is a force not to argue with!!! with best regards to all thank you!!

good morning guys, The Ancient Town of Rye Se UK. is a town
actually created by Nature mysterious being It was built by the Normans around 1150 a hotel and Inn still survive from1156 !! Rye is perched on a hill well above sea level . it is a walled town with 4 beautiful Norman towers at each corner!! in 1247 the English moved in. The sea came right up the walls. In 1375 Nature changed that for ever!! A huge storm changed the course of the river completely .and the sea receded appox 6km south leaving Rye as it is today high and dry! Nature again working her magic! It is a mainly a tourist Town today thanks to the power of Nature creating this unique and beautiful place!! kind regards [hidden image - please register] [hidden image - please register] [hidden image - please register] [hidden image - please register] |

good morning guys,the Nuclear power station at Dungeness Very
near my home,was built in the 1950's when nature conservation did not really exist every thing was turned upside down!! but of course these days they can't even put a fence up without conservationists permission there are actually 2 stations here A and B the first is now shut down They wanted to build C station but were declined permission due to the fact of plants and birds already here Nature at work!! Also the pipes which suck the sea in to cool the reactors was banned because it would have to extend too far out to sea thus being a threat to seals and other marine life well done Nature!! it is a very powerful entity!! people now take notice!!! with very best to all [hidden image - please register] |

Good Morning Guys. The Area around where I live is all "reclaimed"
from the sea, approx 5km sq is all shingle beach. even the houses are built on "floating foundations" because the stones do move!!! In the area are a number of Stone Quarries supplying stone mainly for the building trade or road making usually around 5 years before they move on!! They leave behind beautiful large lakes,they landscape the area making it look "natural" and of course a pure haven for wildlife the birds, geese and various animals soon take over making it look like a natural habitat , Eels also travel overground to make their home in the "new" lakes!! Nature at it's very very best!! with kind regards to all!!.  [hidden image - please register] |

Hi guys, as i have already said,I live in a very rural area of SE UK on the Coast
we have nearby a large military firing range, the power of nature even upsets the running of this facility!! it is classed as a site of"scientific interest" quite a few occasions firing has been stopped because a particular bird or animal has decided to take up residence on the ranges The power of nature!! nothing beats it!! we also have the usual country residents! foxes badgers,stoats, and many others as we keep ducks and rabbits we have to make sure no uninvited visitors pay us a visit, nature again at work!! best regards to all [hidden image - please register] |

Hi guys, Just a little bit more information on the "Ears" radar system
they were installed primary as an experiment not really expected to work,but the opposite happened!! they picked up sound of outgoing and incoming aircraft from around 6 km away, not very far but enough time for the "operators" to use their field telephone to their Command It was said they could identify which type of aircraft was incoming or outgoing quite advanced for a distant time in our past!!thank you with kind regards [hidden image - please register] |

Hi guys, I live in Dungeness a piece of reclaimed land on edge of the
English Channel it is the largest of stoney beach anywhere. we have a large bird reserve,fantastic sea fishing from the beach mainly Dover sole and cod with quite a few "shacks" selling their catches Dungeness is a collection of mainly wood single story dwellings, some of which are old railway stock some extended over the years some not, some purpose built there is also the steam railway the smallest public railway!! one third normal size. we have plants that only grow here including the yellow and blue poppy native only to here! and of course there is a breed of butterfly only found here.... the downside is a nuclear power station and a few stone quarries!! otherwise a place that fits in with nature very well best wishes and regards to all
