So where to today? The sun was shining and I haven't been to the Aubrey Buxton nature reserve in years!!
It is a small reserve managed by Essex Wildlife Trust. It was once a wildlife and pleasure park to Norman House, the reserve was donated to Essex Wildlife Trust by the late Lord and Lady Buxton in 1976. Bird wise I think the best time to visit is April/May and it was a little quiet, though listening to birdsong like Blackcaps is great. I think the first bird I saw was a Red Kite.
Still the ponds had a mallard family and young moorhens.
It was a lovely walk.
So I got home and my step count was low so headphones on I headed out.
A proud Mum :) The youngsters are really growing up.
