RSPB Rainham marshes


I was pleased to be invited by the RSPB to the opening of their centre at Rainham Marshes yesterday, it was opened by Ruth Kelly M.P and Bill Oddy (above). He was a hugely entertining man, with plenty to say about everything. I dont think he is a big fan of politicians.

The site has been transformed from an old MOD shooting range which contained low level nuclear waste (so we were told today) into something quite special.

The building is a credit to all who worked in support of the RSPB, it took many years to fund raise and to get planning approval. It is well worth a visit. It is open every day and you can find it of Tank Hill Road, Purfleet, just of the old A13.
