High tide disturbance, @Natures_Voice Nor marsh.

Today's cause? Low flying drone in area for half-hour. Still, had a really nice chat with the drone pilot...

1/4

...he'd only gone low after first flying over the island at height to check and thought nothing there to disturb. An RSPB member, he didn't realise the #Medway had so much birdlife...

2/4

..and, of course, it's a bit of a prob when @Natures_Voice no longer list their closed reserves on website to help let people know: the Medway, with Nor and Motney reserves, now comes up blank on their search engine...

3/4

...which is a shame when pilot (a paid-up supporter) says they would have voluntarily avoided flying so low over reserve if they'd only known it existed. (Was only out to run down batteries before putting away for winter, never been before).

Something to think about

4/4
