Spotted today Rainham Marshes. Am i seeing things or is this a Pelican? @RSPBRainham @RareBirdAlertUK @LondonBirdClub It was being followed by Gulls for quite a while.

*It's Arrived!* After the longest gestation period of all my books - an advance copy of 'Grasshoppers', and it looks pretty fantastic. So, very pleased.

Wow! Magical...
