average friday

Only managed to get out on Friday over the Easter, due to family demands.Whilst enjoyable it wasn't very productive. barking bay first where it was very quiet apart from a million black headed gulls and about 25 shelduck there wasn't anything on the mud,was hoping for a little ringed plover but it wasn't to be. not much on the scrub just usual meadow pipits and skylarks along the middle ditch there were 4 canada geese 2 dunnock and a wren the linnet flock was down to about 20 birds. the cemex ditch was pretty bare as well with only a wren 2 coot and a moorhen with several blackbirds. Walking back to the car there were about 25 Blackwits flying through along the Thames.







Plenty of people at Rainham RSPB only went as far as the woods as i was being summoned home now. Plenty of birds about all he expected ones and managed to add 3 more to the year list for rainham including Ruff and Chiffchaff.








At least Friday was sunny, unlike the rest of the holiday
