It was a glorious start to the day but we are back in the cold again with thick grey cloud and a stiff chilly breeze. Several Lizards were seen out and about earlier but have now sort shelter again. The Wheatears are still in the 'Ouzel Fields' beyond the Marshland Discovery Zone and four Little Ringed Plovers were seen again.
A stripy Jack Snipe was found bobbing out in front of the Ken Barrett Scrape this afternoon and the female Peregrine and Buzzard have both put in appearances.
With Easter just around the corner do not forget that we have our Eggstravaganza Treasure Hunt taking place each day from April 2 - 18. Ring 01708 899840 or email rainham.marshes@rspb.org.uk for more details
