November 13th (New Hythe)
Sunny but not as mild first thing.(0830-1000)
The main interest this morning was found in the area of the river,which was low.Teal 50,Mallard 10,Teal 40+,Grey Heron 4,Redshank 1,Green Sandpiper 1,Lapwing 6 and Wigeon 1(drake).
Across the river,looking from the Bucket wood,I saw a Marsh Harrier for the second time this month quartering the large reed bed (Burham marsh).
On the southern edge of the west scrub feeding on Willow Herb 2 Lesser Redpolls were seen.Fifty Redwing remain in the east scrub and a Kingfisher was seen along the Mill stream.

I had 1X40ft net up this morning in the west scrub.
BIRDS RINGED
Goldcrest (6)
Siskin (1)
Robin (1)
Blue Tit (6)
Dunnock (1)
Long-tailed Tit (3) + (2) re traps
The Siskin was a nice surprise.Considering just how few there are in the area.
Both of the Long-tailed Tits re traps,were ringed in the west scrub.One on the 28-04-14 and the other on the 19-08-10.
Going on the six Goldcrests which turned up in the net this morning,just how many must still remain in the area?.
Last years Pochard X Ferruginous has returned to Abbey Meads and there has been the occasional sightings of Marsh Harrier in the area.
