Rainham Marshes

A family trip to Rainham Marshes this morning produced 2 cracking water pipits at the stone barges in summer kit and a male marsh harrier over the silt lagoons, we bumped into Hawky in the car park and he told us there were some wheatears on the sea wall which we managed to see. We had a quick cuppa (Jo had her usual bread pudding)in the cafe and received a call from Hawky to say that he was watching a female marsh harrier which I managed to see from the visitors centre, had a quick chat with H, then family walked the circuit.
