Week 1 Rainham

On a freezing January day Rainham gave a few good reasons to get out to enjoy the delights of wildlife yet again.


Welcome to Rainham!


Teal by the scrape

Little Egret looking for food
The birds weren't the only creatures delighting us - although the Shrew could at least have had a pulse!

Recently deceased and hopefully something took advantage of this small morsel
Then the dilemma - if it were a water vole then everyone would be delighted and coo, but it isn't, so how do you feel about another of natures creatures taking advantage of the fallen seeds?

Brown Rat

But the final thrill of the day went back to our avian friends and a Barn Owl quartering across the fields looking for food.   It attracted the attention of some other birds too - here's the Owl defending itself against Magpie.

Spot the Barn Owl! Lol
So all in all a great day, just shows how good wildlife is for us!
