Birds, houses and views from Cudmore Grove Country Park and East Mersea during my stay on Mersea Island in mid-March 2025

During my week long visit to Mersea Island I sometimes walked west to West Mersea or east to Cudmore Grove Country Park.

Little Egret on the lake in Cudmore Grove Country Park

Two Little Egrets standing by the lake

Views across the estuary to Brightlingsea




Long-tailed Tit with a feather for its nest in the undergrowth

Houses on Ivy Lane in East Mersea



The closest I got to a sighting of a Red Squirrel during my stay!!!


Reed Bunting staring back at me!

Pair of Avocets at the edge of the estuary


Little Egret in one of the pools at the edge of the country park

Redshank standing in mud at the edge of the pool

Wigeon in flight

and after they had landed

Red Kite above Coopers Beach holiday park


St Edmund's church just outside the holiday park





Pillbox at the edge of the beach with the holiday park on the other side of the sea wall

An early evening stroll produced a view of Turnstones in a patch of late sunlight

and in normal light!

Two Oystercatchers in the water and one in flight

Curlew just landing near the Oystercatchers

The Turnstones moved to another patch of early evening sunlight

Three Curlews had a conference in the shallow water

Oystercatchers and a Curlew feeding on the beach as the tide went out
