0930 - 1130 cool, overcast
Autumn has finally kicked in the door...a chilly week at last....winter visitors all over Kent....the leaves are going all Ray Davies...and a splodge of rain last night...
Anyway...what was around today....
Plenty of thrushes to start with....Blackbirds, Fieldfares, Song Thrushes, Redwings, Robins....Crows,, Woodpigeon, Jackdaw, Feral Pigeon, Wren, Blue Tit, Long tail Tit, Goldfinch, Linnet, Siskin, Pied Wagtail, Goldcrest, Starling, Reed Bunting, Bullfinch, Chaffinch, Great Tit, Skylark, Magpie, Dunnock, Meadow Pipit, Buzzard, Green Woodpecker....
...whilst at the western pit an adult male Sparrowhawk did a wonderful slow flight along the shore of the pit, obviously trying to scare something out of the grass/weed....having failed it alighted on a low branch, possibly so it could be admired by the many birds on the water...and me too....
At least 2 Chiffchaffs were calling toward the eastern pits....
On the pits...
Shoveler, Tufted Duck, Coot, Black-headed Gull, Mallard, Gadwall, Pochard, Little Grebe, Great Crested Grebe, Mute Swan, Cormorant, Common Gull, Moorhen, Wigeon, Grey Heron, Canada Goose, Water Rail, Snipe, Teal....
