Two noisy Oystercatchers have been regular visitors to the Purfleet Scrape over high tide at the moment which is unusual for us as they tend to stick to the river frontage. I reckon that with a bit of shingle on an island or two and they would be breeding! A project for the autumn perhaps?
You can see how the birds are being buffeted by the strong winds that we have had so far this week!
