This evening I was privileged to hear some of the first of the years Nightingales at Northward Hill reserve although the very first were here a week ago. They are in the woods to the right as you pass the metal gate that leads to the (off limits) old Comms.building. They are also to be heard as you go up to the upper Marsh viewpoint.
The North Kent Marshes are a very special area and worth preserving at all cost.
