Grazing goats help the Sussex Wildlife a Trust look after grassland at Rye Harbour nature reserve
The leaves grow and it becomes more difficult to find the small birds. Ways out: look for big birds or find tree frogs! (And watch out for the crazy bugs;-))

“Along the river The Scheldt in the Flemish Ardennes in Belgium, there are many ‘secret’ spots where Mother Nature has full control on the landscape. One of these places is the nature reserve The Rijtmeersen. For more than a year I wandered through the wild forests and open spaces of the nature reserve and I took about 15 000 images over a timeframe of one year. An enormous archive that expand more and more through the months, because my daily and if that isn’t possible, weekly walk in Nature with my camera is my must-do meditation. My archive is like a huge seed bank, where I can consult and use photos like they are seeds, to plant them in my hanging gardens. It reminds me of the zen-gardens I used to see all time when I was young, with sand and a miniature rake you could miniature garden and make yourself at peace again, all this while Buddha was smiling at you secretly. “

Morston Salt Marshes..Norfolk Coast. by Adam Swaine
Via Flickr:
Norfolk Walk Morston Salt Marshes from Morston Quay This short route explores parts of the Mortson Salt Marshes that are accessible on foot. The route starts from the visitor centre (Grid ref. TG006442) which is signed from the A149 Cromer to Hunstanton road in the centre of Morston village. The walk is subject to tides and maybe wet underfoot. Times of tides are available locally and the walk not attempted on a rising tide as there is a danger that you may be cut off or stranded. It must also be stressed that this walk should not be attempted in mist or poor visibility as the lack of landmarks on the marshes can be disorientating

RSPB Titchwell Marsh..Avocet..Norfolk by Adam Swaine
Via Flickr:
RSPB Titchwell Marsh sits on a beautiful stretch of beach along the north Norfolk coastline. Inland, saline and freshwater lagoons are full of wildlife throughout the year. Swathes of reedbeds are home to diminutive birds and majestic raptors while nearby woodlands fill the air with birdsong. Titchwell is the perfect place to retreat from the hustle and bustle of life, enjoy quiet walks, relax in unspoilt landscapes and experience wildlife up close.

River Glaven..The River Glaven flows for 17 km through one of the most beautiful valleys in England. Rising from tiny headwaters in lower Bodham and Baconsthorpe, the main river begins just below Selbrigg Pond where three streams combine at the outfall. Thereafter, it descends through wooded hills of glacial debris and passes through lush countryside and picturesque flint villages. Finally, the river meets the sea behind Blakeney Point. The Glaven is surrounded by arable land, coniferous plantations, grazing meadows and wetlands. The river is a haven for wildlife.

Typically associated with sandy beaches, but also mudflats and coastal pools. Usually seen in its rather smart grey, black and white winter plumage, often showing distinctive black ‘shoulder’ markings. On beaches, has characteristic feeding habit of running back and forth with the surf…The Sanderling scampers about the waves looking for marine crustaceans, fish and even jellyfish to eat. It visits the UK in winter from its Arctic breeding grounds, but can also be seen as it passes through on migration during spring and autumn
