I arrived in Leigh-on-Sea by bus as the train did not go further than Pitsea due to an incident there. I had to walk down lots of steps from the top of the town down to the station and Thames estuary.
There was a Cricket resting on one of the steps
Two Little Egrets flew away when I approached them on Two Tree Island
A few Ringed Plovers were resting on a tiny island in the lagoon
There were lots of Black-tailed Godwits and some Avocets in the lagoon
The ruins of Hadleigh castle viewed from the bird hide on Two Tree Island
I came across a Firebug on the path along the edge of the island
A Little Egret was wading in the low water in Benfleet Creek
The tide was out in Old Leigh in the late afternoon
A Pied Wagtail was hopping around at the edge of the harbour
