Rainham Marshes RSPB
Another great morning with the kids at the Wildlife Explorers group with one of the boys catching this beaut of a Smooth Newt from one of the pools by the MDZ. These Common Redshank were keeping guard over their territories along the path towards MDZ. Also on the reserve, a couple of vocal Cuckoo were seen agreeably close to the main paths. The afternoon became a little breezy with a few showers moving through. Standing on the 'serin' mound, three Hobby were sat on fenceposts on Wennington waiting for the rain to pass. Three Oystercatcher flew upriver. I have to stop missing Ospreys though.
