Start in the dark

0510 - 0820 chilly but warming quickly to clear sky and sunshine

...so annoying....

Out a bit earlier today, mostly because I woke up early rather than the alarm getting me out of bed...still...it was nice to be out a bit earlier in the gloomy dark....only a few Blackbirds singing with some Robins joining in.....the main song 'action' started at 0520....so if im up this time again I will see what time it is in future....obviously should get earlier over the coming weeks....

5 Nightingale
2 Whitethroat
1 Lesser Whitethroat
2 Willow Warbler
1 Reed Warbler

Chiffchaffs and Blackcaps….

also....

Tawny Owl
Kingfisher
Snipe

Yellowhammer 

...spot the Whitethroat...

For a change I meandered over to the lock...eventually finding Grey Wagtail....

The Medway

Cowslips at the lock

On the return journey these Tufted Ducks were close to the shore on Island Pit...

Tufted Duck pair

And in the paddocks this egg was by the gate....duck?...possibly...
