🌱 New seagrass patches (Zostera marina & noltei) found at Medmerry! Naturally colonised since the 2013 seawall breach — a great example of passive recovery. Early growth supports Annex I birds & nearby protected sites. Monitoring ongoing!

Sunrise at Pulborough, West Sussex

Had to stop at the bridge at Pulborough #westsussex to take in the sunrise by the river, before heading on to lead a guided walk at #Medmerry yesterday! Lots of birds at @rspbengland.bsky.social Medmerry huge flocks of lapwing and golden plover, hunted by marsh harriers and a young female peregrine!

Thanks Eco Forum Global Guiyang 2021 for inviting my talk "Coastal Wetland Conservation & Restoration as a Nature-based Solution: UK experience from local to global" featuring @EnvAgencySE @RSPBEngland #Medmerry, @RSPBNews...

As the Stonechats and Dartford Warblers flit amongst the Gorse, the sun sets behind the buildings inhabited by a Black Redstart.

A fat, happy, relaxed fox enjoying the afternoon sun and there to welcome us at Medmerry, Teal & Redshank heaven with thrilling flock of 300+ Golden Plovers unsettled by a hungry Peregrine. Cetti's Warbler soundtrack
