Birds and wildlife during a September visit to Rainham Marshes

In the middle of September I went for a wildlife walk round RSPB Rainham Marshes nature reserve.  The photos below are of some of the birds and insects that I saw there that day.

I spent a very enjoyable afternoon at Rainham Marshes and only wish that I could manage to go there more often.
