Spent a few hours yesterday at RSPB Rainham Marshes. The hard work and dedication of the staff and volunteers is paying off, as I saw my first Lapwing and Redshank chicks today!

| Redshank chick |
 |
| Redshank protecting their young in the air... |
 |
| and on the ground, they actually had two chicks to watch out for! |
 |
| Mallards also had new life as did Canada & Greylag Geese |
 |
| Little Grebe having a wash and brush up, possibly after taking its turn on the nest! |
 |
| drake Garganey a cracking bird but a seriously long way away to photograph, it was on target pools and I was in the butts hide! |
 |
| Reed Bunting |
 |
| Helophilus hybridus Marsh Tiger Hoverfly |
 |
| and a happy looking Marsh Frog to finish with! |
