Now I've found a nice local walk though, I shall get out and about to see if I can find them on that trail.

Spent the day in Regent's Park today and could have picked any one of about 20 different wildfowl. The bar-headed goose was in with a shout in spite of being a foreign bird.
But then as I was leaving there were a whole bunch of grey herons posing in the snow so they'll do for me!   
It was a wonderful trip in spite of two-thirds of the underground and my main line service all being closed for engineering works. The herons were the icing on the cake.

My bird(s) of the day (yesterday) would normally have been the numerous redwing and fieldfare feeding in my garden. However these were pipped by the sparrowhawk which swooped low over the garden looking for it's sunday lunch.
Nice to see an influx of bird visitors to the garden which i presume is as a result of the cold snap.

I saw my first Lapwing yesterday at a park in Aberaeron. Amazing looking birds.

My BotD has to be the blackcap which was on the bird table when I looked out early this morning. Not quick enough to get my camera on it but hope it returns. www.sussexnaturenotes.co.uk |
