Hi James,
I regularly see a pair in Essex along the River Chelmer. Picture of one below.

Regularly see them at places like Elmley + Dungeness. This species has benefited from recent mild winters + they seem to be in many places around London now- a few years ago mainly places like Rainham, Richmond + Bushy Parks; now they seem to be at every site I go to, which is wonderful as these birds are real delights. |

This lot were all seen on the same day, last November, at Oare Marshes in the morning and Elmley Marshes in the afternoon... 
I've also seen them at Northward Hill, Crossness (near Thamesmead) and over the river at Rainham.
