And so on the day that the last of the major works on the new Purfleet Scrape are completed a Dunlin chose to come in and test out the lie of the land. No water yet bar a few puddles but this will change shortly and this lone bird should be joined by the other 499 that are currently around along with a host of other wadery friends. There is still work to do but things are looking very promising and Nicole, Norman, the contractors and our ecologists have done a magnificent job in under two weeks to once again change the face of the reserve.
You can not get any closer to the Purfleet Hide!
Thanks to Graham White for the images whilst out working on the project on Friday.
