We saw some lovely stuff at Leighton today but it still felt like a 'quiet day' if that makes sense. The feeding stations were certainly quieter than usual and this probably has something to do with the fact that some bright spark has erected a huge set of wooden wind chime type things that kids are encouraged to bash with sticks. Don't get me wrong it's nice to see the kids enjoying themselves but I would have thought they would have put it somewhere else. ANYWAY! These are the species of interest we saw today:
Gadwall
Pochard
Shoveler
Teal (1)
Lapwing
Grey Heron - being mobbed by plenty of Black-headed Gulls
Marsh Harrier
Reed Warbler (heard - we think)
Cetti's Warbler (heard)
Treecreeper
Sedge Warbler
Carrion Crow - managed to steal a Black-headed Gull egg and carry it away whole in it's beak
Marsh Tit
Coal Tit
Nuthatch
Bullfinch
Great Spotted Woodpecker
Greenfinch
Willow Warbler (heard)
Chiffchaff
Wren
Long-tailed Tit
Avocet
Black-tailed Godwit
Little Egret
