Amazingly another Manx Shearwater was seen at Rainham Marshes yesterday. It did not look as well as the one on the 15th September and was being harried by the local gulls. And have checked and we are only one away from 200 species for the year! Wonder what it will be?
On an lighter note, how many Starlings do you reckon are in this photo taken by Mark Webb of some birds on a pylon? I have roughly counted so have a go! Oh and one is a Wood Pigeon!
and could not resist these pictures of a predatory fly that I snuck up on last week... Please do not call me sad...
Coremacera marginata - imagine if it was not only 1cm long!
