| Re: Bird of the day!
My bird of day was totally unexpected. I was doing my WeBS counts along Thames between Putney + Barnes + near Putney Beverly Brook enters the river + there was a stunning drake Garganey with a few expected Teal. There had been one at the nearby London Wetland Centre earlier in the week, so probably the same bird.
It's amazing how such an urbanised part of the river produces so many birds with amongst others 35 Cormorant, pr Shelduck, c100 Mallard (low count here), c250 Teal, 60+ Gadwall, 80+ Tufted Duck, c2000 gulls of 5 species with rowing + power boats constantly going to + fro, lots of people, etc. |
