Green woodie in the tree outside my office window! They're not an uncommon bird around here but you don't usually get such clear views of them.

Mine was the Sparrowhawk that flew low in-between two houses and landed in the ivy growing up the side on a house..
It came out and just sat at the top looking round before disappearing again over the fence.

A little owl whose position was given away by a magpie!! It sat tight for a few minutes before flying into gorse bushes behind the tree.

I'd decided to take a friend to Rainham today + was pleased last night when I saw a couple of Penduline Tits were noted there yesterday. I keep missing this species in the UK + is my bogey bird.

They were reported first thing this morning but no further confirmed sightings so remains my elusive one, but my highlight was a 1st winter Glaucous gull amongst the hoardes of gulls.

A pair of Little Egrets, several Stonechats, a confiding Chiffchaff infront of us in Typha as well as the flocks of duck + finches at the feeders made for a fine day.
