I've been to Wallasea Island catching up with progress on the Wild Coast project. I met up with Hillary Hunter who is the face of the RSPB at Wallasea and is encouraging enjoyment of the island and its coast. She was full of stories of the kayaking event at the weekend - and you can read about it in her own words here.
Wildlife highlight of the trip for me had wings (rather spectacular wings) but wasn't the marsh harriers, little egrets or dashing yellow wagtails - it was a moth I'd not met before cream-spot tiger.
The RSPB Wallasea Island Wild coast project is in its infancy - elsewhere, at Titchwell in North Norfolk and Rainham up the Thames from Wallasea have been making the news because of the innovative designs of the new generations of hides that now grace the sites.
