A small bird, facing to the right, picks its way through a patch of water and cut down reeds. The bird has a grey face and underparts, brown and black upperparts, black and white barred flanks, and a long red bill.
This #WaterRail didn't get the memo that it's meant to be shy, secretive, and hiding in the reeds!

A Sparrow perches on a small twig of a tree, facing to the right. The small bird had grey/brown underparts with fluffy feathers, black and brown striped wings, a dark brown head with a grey cap, black markings around its bright, black eye, and a short, fat, grey beak.
Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Stripes so here's a #Sparrow showing off the brown and black stripes on its wings 😍

A small bird stands on a muddy bank at the water's edge, facing to the right. The bird is brown with grey underparts and is very well camouflaged against the dark brown mud.
Absolutely delighted to see a Water Pipit at #RSPB #RainhamMarshes yesterday.
A winter migrant, there are only approx. 200 in the UK and I got to see one! 😍

A duck swims on water, facing to the left and slightly away. The large dark grey bill and orange eye suggest this is a male in non-breeding plumage. The duck's head is dark brown and its body is a lighter, mottled brown.
A Male Northern Shoveler in non-breeding plumage for #MallardMonday (I'm assuming non-breeding male due to bill and eye colour and time of year but am happy to be corrected if it is in fact a female)

A small bird perches on the top of a branch on a tree with green leaves. The goldfinch faces to the left and its wings are outspread as it prepares to take flight. The head is reddish brown (suggesting it is a juvenile who has not yet developed the distinctive red face markings), the body is grey/brown, the tail is black, while the wings have bands of black (closest to the body, yellow, and grey at the wingtips. The background sky is a dull grey colour.
Not the best light for photography today at #RSPB #RainhamMarshes but still happy to get this shot of a #Goldfinch

A small Little Grebe chick swims in water surrounded by dense reed growth, facing to the right. The chick has a humbug striped body (black and brown) and red facial and head markings. The adult parent bird was present but well hidden in the reeds and only showed itself for brief glimpses.

Yet to develop the same level of elusivity and camera shyness as its parent! 😂

An adult Canada Goose stands guard over its two young goslings. The goose stands, facing to the left, on a rough, white, stoney path that has parches of green grass growing up through it. The goose has a brown body and a black head and neck with white cheeks and chin strap. The 2 goslings stand at the feet of the adult bird, the gosling on the left facing away and presenting a rear view, the gosling on the right faces to the right. The goslings have fluffy yellow down with brown feathers just starting to grow through on their backs and tops of their heads.
It's cute fluffy things season at #RSPB #RainhamMarshes 🥰

Looking up a sloping dusty path with Andrena flavipes nesting holes and bees flying around
I spent a fun half-hour this morning hanging around an aggregation of Yellow-legged Mining Bee (Andrena flavipes) nests at RSPB Rainham Marshes. Their nomada parasite was there, too - Nomada fucata.

Please read our Barking, Dagenham and Havering @greenparty.org.uk statement on the RSPB proposed closures, particularly the Education Centre at #RainhamMarshes.
As a trained teacher myself, I appreciate how important education is for all, wherever we're from.

Every time I see one of your posts I can't take you seriously anymore. Stop with the ridiculous closures of #RainhamMarshes & #Dungeness it's so short sighted & even your own staff say senior management are deaf to their suggestions.

@rspb.bsky.social @rspbengland.bsky.social it's tragic that the organisation has succumbed to ego & income targets. The 'cost cutting closures' on the East coast looks like senior management have favourites. What don't you like about nature lovers in Essex & Kent? #RainhamMarshes #Dungeness

Very high tide on the downstream River Thames this afternoon, at #RSPB #RainhamMarshes. The flood barrier has been lowered into position at the River Darenth, to protect #Dartford.
