Thanks for the heads-up Richard. I'll definitely give it a watch. I'm currently doing most of my wildlife watching and photography at the Crossness Nature Reserve which is on the Thames in Bexley. Was down there with my son this morning and walked some of the Thames path. We saw various gulls - lesser black-backed, black-headed (already in winter plumage) and common - quite a few ducks - mainly mallard - cormorant, lapwing, grey heron and a grey wagtail.
