Cold but largely still with glorious sunshine all day. It started well with a huge Moonset over Fords which I tried to capture on my camera but failed although the result does look quite like a huge Saturn with two rings all askew!
Hopefully we shall get to see the Lunar Eclipse just before sundown this evening!
Not so many waders over the tide today whcih was no where near as big as the monster one yesterday. However, the Spotted Redshank and Golden Plover, four Grey Plover and 18 Ringed Plover were seen and the Pec Sand was again reported from Aveley Pools. Stonechats and Bearded Tits showed very well and 14 Rock and one Water Pipit were on the foreshore!
Robins, Dunnocks, Wrens and Great Tits were all in song in the woodland and a few Redwings were flitting around.
A beautiful Rainham Robin (by me)
