There has been some wild weather over the last few days starting with the demented Doris and continuing with the grump Ewan today...

Incoming today - Ivor Kerslake

Not much to report bird wise but the windy and wild conditions have resulted in some great photographic opportunities for those willing to go out!

Russ Sherriff captured some amazing shots of the Wigeon riding out the waves on Purfleet Scrape including a magical one where a ring of aerial water forms perfectly between the pair of ducks...

A one in a million shot...

A seriously annoyed and windswept Coot....

And today Mark Vale caught the birds being blown around too..

Wigeon, Teal, Shoveler and a Snipe

A wisp of Snipe...

And I will leave you with a seriously ominous cloud heading across the City this evening... Tony O'Brien
