Rainham Marshes.

It is one of the RSPB reserve that I visited for birding on 11th December. It is in London/Essex area and along the river Thames. A good place to see some of the winter bird species that visit the marshes and river Thames.


Along the river Thames, we saw a flock of Shelduck, Dunlin and Common Redshank. Others include Grey Plover and skylark.

At Rainham Marshes, we had Eurasian Wigeon, Pintail, Water Rail, Mediterranean/ Great Black-backed / Yellow-legged Gull, Fieldfare, Redwing, Bearded Reedling (Tit) and Stonechat.
