On our last visit to this site we were amazed at the large variety of species present. The initial walk provided us with views of several Marsh Harrier, Grey partridge, Lapwing, Golden plover and many others. On reaching the far end of the walk we were suprised to find a large number of wildfowl in residence.
Near where the coach is parked for the return journey it is worth searching the Thames Estuary for additional species.
Please wear stout shoes and bring a packed lunch.
