Notes on Rye Harbour Sue Whigham takes a trip to the coast to discover what makes the nature reserve at Rye Harbour such an incredible habitat for our wildlife istockphoto.com/ asmithers / undefined undefined We have the forces of the wind and the sea to thank for the initial formation of the nature reserve down at Rye Harbour, a 475 hectare site which is an integral part of the Romney Marsh, Dungeness and Rye Bay Site of Special Scientific interest. It is made up of many precious and varying habitats including ever changing shingle ridges, saline lagoons, reedbeds, ponds and gravel pits and saltmarsh. All of these provide ideal and safe habitats for an extraordinary variety of interdependent birds, plants and invertebrates. Many of the creatures and plants here are endangered or rare but ongoing and expert management of the Reserve has meant that we are lucky to have such a special place and such biodiversity on our doorstep. The skies are huge here and the light is ever changing over the sea and the shingle. No two visits are the same. And now, in the spring, the skylarks are singing their hearts out above the Reserve, so different from the winter months when you see them feeding together in companionable groups. On the shingle things are stirring right now with the emerging shoots of the sea kale taking pride of place. Their leaves are purple and crinkly in their infancy but they soon become a lovely glaucous greeny-blue as they mature. There’s never a dull moment in the cycle of this perfectly adapted plant’s life. Waxy leaves help to prevent water loss. Even the shape of the curly leaves helps with the retention of water and as the water droplets get larger in the nooks and crannies of the leaves, it will eventually make its way to the plant’s extensive roots deep beneath the shingle ridges. And as the flowering season of the kale finishes, the yellow horned poppy, Glaucium flavum, begins to flower both alongside the path parallel to the sea and on the edges of the shingle. I love this plant for both its rich yellow flowers and its long, elegantly curved seed heads growing out at all angles from the plant. Once they are ripe, later in the year, they will split open and the seeds will be ejected some distance from the parent plant. All clever stuff as they don’t want to be in competition for nutrients or water in these inhospitable conditions. Seventeenth Century herbalists were convinced that the roots of the poppy were the answer to healing bruises as its early name of Bruiseroot suggests, but in fact most parts of the plant are both toxic and hallucinogenic. Another country name for the yellow horned poppy is the rather charming ‘Gold Watches’ which describes the flattened face of the flower perfectly. 89 priceless-magazines.com
