Male Stonechat
Pastures new again with a trip to Rainham Marshes in the good company of the Coventry and Warwickshire RSPB group. The weather, although seasonally fresh, with a challenging wind, was better than forecast, with sunshine before the rain arrived at 1430hrs. It was good to explore a new (for me) area with several year ticks. Nothing extra special was seen, although one member (Katie) managed to photograph the elusive Water Vole! Photographic opportunities for me concentrated on some of the commoner species. A list of my sightings can be seen at the end of this post.
