Shared description
Lion Creek and Lower Raypits Nature Reserve
See Essex Wildlife Trust site: Link

"Lion Creek was once part of the Crouch estuary, until it was cut off by a seawall. Now the creek boasts an attractive border of saltmarsh plants such as Sea Lavender, Golden Samphire and Sea-spurrey. This meadow alongside the creek also provides a home for a number of exciting invertebrates, including the UK’s rarest bee, the Shrill Carder. Walk further along the seawall path to reach Lower Raypits. Here, there has been significant habitat management for scarce breeding waders, such as Avocets, Black-tailed Godwit and Lapwing."
