#marshes

They once said they imagine I’m off on adventures anytime we’re not in the same room… I thought it’d be funny to encourage this perception.

Grassland @ Oare Marshes Kent Coast by Adam Swaine Via Flickr: Fabulous walk on the otherside of the marsh full of warblers and Linnets and other small insects lurking in the tall grass a stunning place to visit.

Morning walk along the Great Ouse @ Ely very tranquil and flat by Adam Swaine Via Flickr: passing under the railway bridge we came across a large group of birds relaxing in the waters of the Great Ouse. The sound of trains passing nearby and the activity of sculling eights rowing crews passing them by did not seem to disturb them. They must be well used to the sounds and diversion by now. The bird group were mainly Ducks with a few Swans in the mix. As i walked past the group one further Swan came in to land directly at the point on the river were were passing. It was a marvellous sight. A few years further i spotted a herd of cattle on the far bank of the river.

Grazing Cows on the bank of the Great River Ouse Cambs by Adam Swaine Via Flickr: Grazing is a natural way to prevent tall, vigorous plants like Bulrush from overwhelming freshwater margins and shallow water. This allows a greater diversity of plant species to flourish, and in turn creates a more complex underwater architecture for different animal species to live amongst.Livestock transport seeds in mud on their hooves or in their hair, helping spread plants between waterbodies and aiding colonisation of restored or newly created habitats
