A tranquil walk and despite being a seasonally low bird population there was a marsh harrier gliding to and fro, a multitude of butterflies and dragonflies along with lapwing, swans, mallard and pink footed geese.

I first came to Elmley reserve over 20 years ago and still use it occasionally. Ive only been to the hides a few times and generally use my car as a hide by driving slowly to the car park and back. You can see some great wildlife from the car. I like to take photos and i like birds of prey. Ive seen everything from a disheveled osprey in early spring to buzzards and the magnificent Marsh Harrier, you’d be unlucky if you didn’t see one. There is so much besides, i got some amazing evening shots of hare and the Little Owls and a Barn Owl. All in all a cracking place and you can always have a walk along the Swale sea wall.

It's hard to put into words what Elmley means to me. Beautiful cabins to stay in, a stunning nature reserve with so much to see throughout all the seasons, the sweetest staff who always go the extra mile for you. When I come to Elmley I feel rested, cared for and inspired. Arriving here feels like a long exhale. It's so special, and will always be one of my favourite places in the world.

I had a wonderful morning with Guide Abbie on a bird tour. It was peaceful and fascinating to learn about the different birds. Ended with a wonderful hot chocolate and pastry
