I am sad to report that Chris Lowe, one of our regular visitors, volunteers and contributor to the Rainham blog passed away after a short illness on the 3rd March. Chris was a lively, jovial character with a big smile and a good eye for a sharp photo.
He particularly liked trying to snap the multitudinous insects that abound on the reserve and had fun practicing with his ring flash to try to capture all the detail in something so small and active.
Oh and he managed to get the odd Bearded Tit as well... he will be greatly missed by staff, vols and regulars alike.
