Rainham Marshes

Today I visited RSPB Rainham Marshes which if you are a regular viewer then you will know is one of our favourite reserves and also our local Patch. As I set of around the reserve I could see the butterflies flying around in the sky. I attempted some photos but unfortunately failed. When I got to the first little river on the broad walks I spotted a grass snake swimming over the water. In the Ken barrats hide A family of Little Egrets were happily feeding in the marshes.

On the Northern Broad Walks many dragon flies were flying around chasing one another. Occasionally a Common or Ruddy Darter would land on the walk in front of me. I really enjoyed the day and hope to get back there some time soon.
