While Susan Clare had her wonderful exhibition in the Purfleet Hide at the start of June, she also created two superb lapwing paintings using images taken on the reserve by Tom Bell and Tony O’Brien. She painted these in the visitors centre while the people having their lunch and a cup of tea looked on.

Susan has very kindly donated these to the reserve to raise some funds to help with our continued work to conserve this and other wetland species so we have come up with a proposition...


The Blue and the Green in all their glory!

We shall run two raffles, one for the green one and one for the blue. Tickets per raffle will be £5 and can be purchased at Reception up until 2pm on Sunday 10th September. The two prize draws will take place at our Autumn Fair that day at 3pm.
