Another quick look at the west scrub this morning produced 1 overflying Woodcock,small numbers of Redwing, 4 Greenfinch and a calling Cetti`s Warbler.
During the afternoon I looked in on Halling Common between 1230-1330,the river was high.Now that the cold spell has passed far fewer birds are to be seen,for instance I had no geese or duck apart from 4 Mallard.On the wader front I only saw Redshank (35+) and 2 Snipe,but there again it was high tide.Other birds of note were Little Egret 1,Yellowhammer 1 and at least 25 Magpie.

Know the Watercress beds, E Malling very well Alan - but never with Smew or Whooper Swan! Those long last days eh, probably still LS Woodpeckers on the research then as well. Well done with all those Woodcocks the other day.

Thanks,Adam.
ReplyDeleteHi Alan.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about Halling Common at the moment. Since the weather has warmed up the birds seem to have diminished
I was actually up the watercress beds on sunday morning Alan on a huge trip down memory lane, this was one of mine and my brother's favorite childhood haunts. It hasn't changed much, except in terms of wildlife.
