Reserve is open but the woodland is closed off and the trails are even wetter. Wellies to get round to the Butts hide unless you fancy wet feet. Incredibly windy here. Building shaking and windows wobbling. Spray being whipped off the top of the waves on the Thames and white horses dancing across Purfleet Scrape.
Mrs Peregrine sitting out on Purfleet has been the highlight so far..... looks like we have more weather to come too....
