Joined the local Havering RSPB group for a day trip to Frampton Marsh on the north side of The Wash in Lincolnshire. We were lucky with the weather, after an overnight frost the day was now bright and sunny with almost clear blue skies. It remained that way throughout the day, there was a cool north-easterly which felt pretty cold when walking the seawall though.
