A day in South Essex

Canvey, Essex, grasshopper, heteroptera, hymenoptera, insect, odonata, spiders, wat tyler cpBy Neil-UKWildlifeJuly 30, 20184 Comments

Living in South Essex I often look with green eyes at those in places like the highlands with pine martens and crested tit in the wilderness on their doorstep or in Norfolk with swallowtail butterflies and large areas of fen to explore, but looking objectively there are some good things to be found in Essex,…

Clouded yellow and other insects on Canvey Wick

Lesser Yellow legs at West Canvey Marshes video

bird, Canvey, Essex, waderBy Neil-UKWildlifeSeptember 18, 2013Leave a comment

Popped over to West Canvey Marsh RSPB reserve yesterday in my lunch break to see the Lesser Yellow Legs, a bird I have never seen before. It was a distant view, and sadly the design at West Canvey means all birds on the far side of the lake there are and the birds on the…
