Our woodland photography hide is now available again, with its reflection pool.

And we've been getting some wonderful results, including a regular female sparrowhawk that is visiting (see pic below by John Humble), and woodland birds using the pool, creating some nice photographic opportunities.

The hide is available to hire - full day £35 including reserve entry (£28 RSPB members), and half day £25 including reserve entry (£20 members).

Please email the reserve on Rainham.marshes@rspb.org.uk to enquire about bookings.

We can also now offer optic sales again - on Thursdays, and Saturdays mornings (9.30am-1pm). Binoculars, telescopes and tripods.
