2024!!...is here

 Well...I havent put anything on here since May....when the Nightingale couont stopped.....

The real problem with this site is I have no idea...and I dont think the gravel company have no idea...as to when anything will happen on site.  This has been going on for several years.  Therefore my visits have been infrequent.  If I can in 2024 I will hope to get along to the pits more often.

Anyway...its a new year....so a new list...

My first visit today was to Sheppy, usual January 1st site....several hour there and then dropped in to Kings Hill to see if I could pic up the Waxwings....no luck....will have to go to the Aldi car park on the industrial estate tomorrow...then in to Whetsted.....here I added....

Green Woodpecker, Song Thrush, Goldcrest, Snipe, Jay, Jackdaw, Great Crested Grebe, Coot, Tufted Duck, Pochard, Common Gull, Grey Heron, Shoveller, Goldeneye, Little Grebe, Stonechat, Bullfinch....
