Today I had a staff meeting, a catch up day on Trust work, activities and to brainstorm future projects and ambitions. They are always great days; socialising with work colleagues, plenty of humorous banter, tea and biscuits.
For me it was a great opportunity to visit this wonderful reserve which is full of wildlife delights. In just the scrub and woodland areas associated with the Visitors Centre, summer migrants abound with singing Blackcaps, Garden, Willow, Reed and Sedge Warblers, Whitethroats, Nightingales and a Cuckoo.
Should you visit, remember to check out all the events and courses held at the Centre.

About Me
- Mick Wright
- Ipswich, Suffolk, United Kingdom
- My interest in wildlife began many years ago, when short trousers were in fashion. The first bird’s nest that I found was that of a Song Thrush way back in 1949. Luckily for me during my childhood days, the Orwell estuary was my playground. My most memorable recollection from those early-1950s days, and one that has stayed with me ever since, was when I stood at the water’s edge of Mulberry Middle at low water. I was in awe of the vastness of the scene around me; the natural wilderness feeling was so powerful, and thereafter I was simply hooked on the beauty and the wildlife riches of the estuary and I have savoured that experience on so many occasions. I have also seen some dramatic changes. These days, only on a bleak winter’s day or during the depth of night does the estuary become, once again, a wilderness for its wildlife. These are just some of the reasons why I am passionate about and do all that I can in the world of conservation.
