Wreck of an old boat, sitting just off the river side at Motney Hill, North Kent. Part of the Riverside Country Park, this coastal walk takes in a varied amount of wildlife, from many species of birds who dwell in the salt marshes and mudflats to the seals often seen sitting on the little islands dotted around the estuary.

Part of the parks 247 acres, there are some amazing sights to see from wildlife to the remains of many boats dotted along the shoreline.

Reservoir at Gore Farm Although not apparent in my photograph, this reservoir and nearby pond are the home to a large variety of waterfowl. A sign invites visitors to enter a small enclosure to feed the birds.
