The riverside on Kingsmead Field provides a quiet, restful haven for wildlife and local people alike in what is an increasingly busy urban area. Below are pictures of the birds, fish, mammals and insects that frequent our part of the River Stour and the flora that grows along its banks. Enjoy our riverside at its most glorious! Thank you to all our budding local photographers.
