    Yep, in the vast urban sprawl of Cock Marling, just west of Rye, population about 75, some of them alive.

    Rye Harbour Nature Reserve is well worth a visit next time you're down, excellent for waders. I see most of the curlews on the landward marshy fields behind the sea wall at Winchelsea Beach. I'm lucky, I have a couple of thousand acres (none of it mine) that I can walk around.
