Evening all..... been a bit busy for updates today but suffice to say that it turned out pretty good considering I never went outside with two Bonxies on the river (before heading off to the Butts Scrape for a wash!), two kronking Ravens (thanks Julie) that spent quite a bit of time invisble on the ground and were usually only seen when they flew, male and female Marsh Harriers, Peregrine, bobbing Jack Snipe on Purfleet Scrape for the third afternoon on the trot (on the back of the first pool nearest the end of the ramp), a Ring Ouzel seen early doors and late afternoon in the bushes on the inland side of the river wall, a few Redwings, Bearded Tits, Grey Wagtails, 23 Pintail and the funny coffee-straw coloured Meadow Pipit along the foreshore. And must not forget the pile of Harbour Seals all day on the far bank...
And a female Sparrowhawk that has been terrorising the feeders.....
