BIRDWATCHERS are being invited to brave the cold and catch a glimpse of Arctic birds seeking warmth in the UK.

Members of RSPB Grave-send are visiting the Dungeness Nature Reserve, Lydd, Kent, on February 5.

The group say the area provides a safe haven for Arctic birds.

They expect to see whooper swans, rare grebes and ducks on the open reserve or in the sea.

Anyone is welcome to join the group at 10am in the reserves' car park.

Birdwatchers should wear appropriate clothing and footwear.
