went over the patch today for an hour around lunch time and came across all the usual suspects
2 Redshanks, 12 teal, plenty of black headed gulls and shelduck a common tern flying past, lots of cormorants
2 skylark and a large flock of linnets and goldfinches. On the scrub was a Great tit, Robin 3 Black birds a magpie and a Harris Hawk yep there sitting on a bush in front of me was a Harris Hawk ( No wonder there wasn't anything about on the scrub and by the middle ditch).
On Saturday sfternoon i popprd over for half hour and saw a bird flying down the thames at first i thought it was a lapwing but when i got it in sight of my bins i could see it wasn't but havn't a clue what it was can only say it looked very much like pictures of a manx shearwater. So if any one can think what it might have been please let me know. It wasn't an Oystercatcher as it didn't have a very long beak.
