During the afternoon I looked in at Abbey Mead lake,passing Brookland on the way.By then there was more cloud and the wind was in the northeast (hopefully it will bring some more good birds into the county over the next few days).
Brookland - Mute Swan 1 and 6 B h Gulls.
Abbey Mead - Coot 100,Shoveler 3,Tufted Duck 28,Canada Goose 10,G C Grebe 4,Little Grebe 1,Moorhen 4,Mute Swan 1 and Chiffchaff 1.

Alders lake - Mallard 5,Greylag 8,Tufted Duck 16,Coot 96,Canada Goose 7,Mute Swan 4,Chiffchaff 2 and a pair of G C Grebes with 2 very small young.

The above photo is of a adult female Goldfinch,the red on the face of a male extends behind the eye.

Chiffchaffs are now the most noticeable Warbler in the New Hythe area,many of the other summer visitors have moved out.
