Rainham Marshes

Had a walk this morning along the river beside Rainham Marshes then up and over the landfill to the serin mound. Beautiful warm sunny early morning with no wind! Fairly quiet bird-wise although I did manage three warblers that were new for me this year, Whitethroat, Sedge Warbler, and Reed Warbler. There were a few butterflies enjoying the sun including a Brimstone that would not settle.
