I've only just now come across this delightful video, and it took me straight back to my childhood in West Mersea in the 50s. Lots of exploratory paddling through the mud at low tide, especially over what we children called ”Crab Island”, a stretch of algae covered mud cut through by the retreating tidewaters, making mounds able to take our weight, and which sheltered hundreds of crabs. Reed beds, where we made mazes and hid from each other, are gone now, giving way to water's-edge properties and artificially sandy beaches. Dinghy sailing in the sound off West Mersea Yacht Club, and suppers afterwards in the restaurant. Totally unsupervised days of seashells, sunshine, water, swimming - bliss! My grandfather owned and ran the White Hart, and my mother owned our house on Melrose Road. These memories have sustained me through a life of travel - I have visited every continent except Antarctica - but my heart lies in Mersea Island. Thank you for an unexpected and welcome meander through 60-year-old memories!

This is so beautiful! I’m going to visit Fingringhoe Wick in the next few days! I hope to hear a nightingale as I’ve never heard one in the flesh ever! Being from up North, we don’t get nightingales. It will be my dream to hear one live! ❤️

What a very one sided and unfactual video. So heres some facts for those that want to listen to the facts and not opinion: -Curlew are 5x more likely to successfully raise their young on land managed for grouse compared to unmanaged land. -10 of the 11 successful hen harrier nests last year were on managed grouse moors. -Merlin have quadrupled their breeding efforts on land managed for grouse shooting whilst elsewhere they have halved. -Plover numbers are significantly higher on land managed for grouse- With 637% more Curlew, 835% more Golden plover, 317% more Snipe and 2467% more Lapwing. -Burning does not touch the peat and its carbon store. Indeed I have seen cool burns go over the top of snow and leave the snow in place. The burnt areas do provide food for grouse but they are actually the favoured nesting areas of the waders as they prefer to be able to see all around. Without muirburn there would be vast swathes of additional fire load. If this was to go up in flames we would see the likes of Saddleworth moor and Ilkley moor across the uplands of Northern UK. These fires penetrated into the peat and then released the carbon. The official fire report from Saddleworth said that had effective fire breaks been maintained (Muirburn) then the fire would not have been anywhere near as devastating. -Want to see what happens when grouse moors are left to their own devices? Look at the Welsh grouse moors which are now just seas of bracken, which estimates suggest will take 10-15 years to return to their former glory. So please ignore this one sided video without a single shred of factual evidence and listen to the hard facts of which I have just given. The only loser to getting rid of grouse moors (apart from the tens of thousands of direct and indirect jobs that would be lost) is the wildlife.

This debate that’s largely in focus is because of people wanting to re wild the uplands and lowlands.if this happens in the long run it will be a absolute disaster for the golden plover,curlew,red grouse,snipe and so on and all for the benefit of people having a say in things they do not understand.these people should try not going on holiday in a plane once/twice a year and that will save the planet a lot more that not burning heather and managing our hill ground so create a bio diversity.
