Taken a few days ago at Rainham Marshes. This little bird had nested too close to the board walk and jumped off her nest as I walked passed.

Good details Basil, especially in the eye. It shows the environment well.

It nesting so close to the boardwalk, which was surprising. I pointed it out to the RSPB members there, who starting taking pictures as well!

Thanks Deanne.... :thumbsup:
