Today as i drove onto the reserve there were a huge number of redwing in the Pear Orchard feeding on the ground as they are apt to do. I was picking up my ropes and hooks for removing of the tyres from the muds at Bloors Wharf at Riverside Country Park by the Norse Staff there. As I left great clouds of them flew over my car as I headed for the exit.

The North Kent Marshes are a very special area and worth preserving at all cost.
