THIS FILMED news item is a testament to the fine film-making skills of YourThurrock cameraman Mike Jones. For the rest of the team, our film-making and editing is pretty basic: point camera at subject and ask question. Import film, edit, upload and move on to next subject but Mr Jones has nurtured his craft over the years so that a film like this can do justice to the visual splendour of the wading birds on the estuary neat Coalhouse Fort.
Here, we interview David Darrell-Lambert of Birdbrain UK about what we should be looking out for on a November morning by the estuary.
