My big London year interrupted I am now a full time carer for my mother! Luckily I have few hours free time a day and luckily some kind local farmers have created me a decent patch just down the road. I reckon they went a bit far making into a reservoir when the quarry was less than shabby, but you go with what you got!<br />
<br />
So here's the new patch (above), handily close to the house and handily pretty good for birds: I had set a target of 130 and achieved that with near on four months to spare<br />

<i>Winter visitor with up to 3 birds regularly roosting on the reservoir. According to Mike Foley one actually summered in the area. First returning birds of the autumn were a group of 7 youngsters on the 8th August for an hour or more before heading off to the river just south of Shelford. 9 birds the following day circled the reservoir twice before dropping down in the same place as the day before, and again on the 11th. Spoke to a local birder from Shelford who said that these were hatched on the river in Little Shelford and if that is the case could be a first for Cambridgeshire! 2-4 birds were seen regularly in the evening towards the middle of August from this brood, the others apparently had moved to a larger river!</i></div>

<i>2 birds, presumably a pair on and off since the initial sighting in March, on several occasions during June and July have been joined by a young bird. The pair would presumably look to breed here if there were anywhere suitable to nest, but quite what they are feeding on is open to conjecture: I did see a small shoal of trout back at the end of may, and other small fry may have survived going through the pump from the river—I would imagine most of those have been consumed leaving only invertebrates to feed on. August update on the fish: large shoals of fry seen near the edge of the water in several places–so certainly enough fish albeit slim pickings</i></div>

<i>(Up to 6) A couple of birds nest on the lakes at Great Kneightley country park between Trumpington and Addenbrookes Hospital, but pass this way to fish on the lakes to the south and in the river to the west almost a daily. A pair had a look at the island on the reservoir and while she was up for mating he wasn't quite on the same page. They return and harry anything near the islands and maybe next year if the island is still there they may have a go on it. Birds usually seen hawking for insects over the lake rather than fishing.</i><br />

Still a few things missing from last year and it appears that many of the waders have gone through early or as yet not at all. Then again last year this was still a quarry and may have had other benefits for passing waders especially</div>

Still the first winter period to come and it could be interesting...Nick Crofthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01961182517953395454noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8317350055517077062.post-53214804036882114272017-06-08T11:11:00.000+01:002017-06-08T11:11:36.898+01:00May 2017: A few good ternsDefinitely a month of small gulls and smaller terns.<br />
<br />
138 species in the London Recording Area for the month and as with April a few I could have got if I'd the inclination. It will be interesting to see if I can get anywhere near 100 for June–if only to me!<br />
<br />
The month started well with my first Little Stint for London and Rainham. A few days later Marco's hunch of some tern action on the KGV paid dividends with the best views I think we've both had of a marsh tern. The Kittiwake, soon to be a very moribund Kittiwake, was still looking unhappy on the reservoir's apron. Another Marco hunch bagged us both a London tick of Little Tern mid river at Rainham, just as we set up and the product of a set of consequences which added up to a huge slice of luck.<br />
<br />
Great info from Howard V got us (with Marco again) Turtle Dove on a chilly day–more Theresa May than late spring. Took us well over an hour wandering around the site, before one popped up after chasing a rival across the trees.<br />
<br />
The 9th brought a bird that couldn't have been on too many people's radar for London. First put out as a Franklin's Gull, then subsequently an either or bird with Laughing Gull as the other option. To me it looked like the latter, to which more knowledgeable folk than I concurred with. A quick scamper back to get my optics and back to Rainham more in hope than expectation. No sign of the bird when I arrived, but as I sauntered out on to the reserve Hawky twittered he'd got it again mid river from the top of the tip. Picking Howard from the centre we rushed up the river wall scanning the gulls as we went. Apparently Hawky and Dave S had lost the bird as they scampered down the path from the tip, but with Andy T now checking the river I chose the Serin Mound to check the target pools. Not a lot there so after a while I went up the tack to check the working tip edge where a host of gulls were loitering. Scoping the gulls I noticed one that was either an Iceland or a leucistic Herring Gull, but lost it soon after, I scanned the closer birds and there amongst them was a diminutive gull with a very dark mantle–very much our bird. I called H who could see exactly where I was and tweeted out to Andy down by the river, unfortunately the birds were flushed by an approaching car before the guys could get there and sadly the bird was not seen again.<br />
<br />
Fast forward another couple of days and I am chasing a first summer Bonaparte's, around east London on both sides of the river, which is giving me the right arse. Thanks to the bloody minded persistence of James Heal, we managed to catch up with it off Cross Ness.<br />

<br />
Another day another tern. Trolling round the patch I get news of a White-winged Black Tern. Fantastic. At Staines. Not so fantastic. It wont be there long. Then there were 3. I stumble slowly towards the station. They are still there, so there's nothing left for me to do but to go. Urged on by my colleagues on Twitter I take the plunge bolstered by a few cans of strong cider.<br />
<br />
Glad I went, so a large thanks to those who pushed me.<br />

A family get together organised by my sister to Dartmouth, what could
possibly go wrong? After a flurry of good birds in east London a lull
in the procession meant it was probably safe to leave the Pointless
London Listing Project for at least a couple of days: Black Kite, Osprey
and the real kick in the balls–Common Crane, which lasted a whole day
only to hoof it north the next while I was heading back through the west
country. I mean frickkin' arse!<br />

I had been looking forward to a bit of sea watching in some wet and grimey weather on one of the headlands, but the forecast was wrong again: clear skies though the wind was in the right direction. Sea watching was a bust: A trcikle of manxies way out to sea, a small group of Common Scoter, a handful of Guillemot and a few feeding Kittiwake. Slapton Ley, where as a kid I got my first adult Red-throated Diver, was very quiet the only diver, a Great-northern, off shore.<br />
<br />
The steep wooded slopes were also migrant free, but full of the song of thrushes, Blackcap and Robin and empty of what I was hoping for and might have expected.<br />

On the plus side I did find two singing Cirl Bunting, one not 100 yards from our accommodation, which has got to be a good sign towards their recolonisation of that stretch of coast.<br />

On Sunday the sea watching wasn't any better, the scenery can't be faulted, so I spent most of the day wandering around the headland west of the town–more bugs and botany than birds.<br />

Yesterday one cocky individual decided to brave exposure. Lucky for me it did else I would have been half way round the sea wall when news of the Black-winged Stilts broke. Not that it would have mattered they were still there at 19:00.<br />

I knew Wanstead would deliver up the passerine movement of Redstart, Ouzel, Whinchat plus a warbler or two, but with only 2, 2, 3 respectively it was a near run thing. What we did get, and we usually get something unusual was a singing Nightingale, better by far than the Fisher's Green bird(s) I did go for.<br />
<br />
<iframe frameborder="0" height="115" scrolling="no" src="http://www.xeno-canto.org/367229/embed?simple=1" width="340"></iframe><br />
The next day brought a spring Woodlark, which was handy and off radar but which helped in achieving 142 species for the month. The 150 mark could have easily been achieved as I ignored 3 owls, Nuthatch, Treecreeper and a few other easy birds (I am already on 110 for May and it's only 6 days in–keeps me interested!).<br />
<br />
The month started off well with a showy owl at Rainham and a few days later one of the tricky small gulls–an adult Little Gull showing well (through a scope) on another gloomy day at the KGV. The 8th brought my first controversial bird, destined to get a "Not Proven" from two rarity committees in due course. I was to visit my mum, but the trains were being perverse meaning I had to use the Stratford Bishops Stortford train and change along the line. It sopped for a long time at Broxbourne, I imagine to let a faster train by, after a while I thought this might be the Cambridge train so I hopped off. It was the Stansted Express instead. Gotta change somewhere I suppose. Checking the the displays I realised my error, especially as now virtually everything was subject to delay. I bought a coffee and had a quick snout and went to my platform. Broxbourne is a pretty good station as it gives a view over some of the least disturbed bits of the Lea valley. I've had Hobby and Buzzard here, terns flying between the lakes and a Turtle Dove on the wires just to the north–so one of the better places to be marooned.<br />
<br />
As I stood I became aware of a song, which sounded familiar yet unusual. It was coming from the line of bushes to the east of the disused marshaling tracks. Cupping my ears I could hear it quite clearly between the train announcements (one of which suggested my train would be 20 minutes late) and movements. It sang on. I know what this is. An Iberian Chiffchaff was singing about 50 feet away from me, but before I could think about recording it on the i-phone my tardy train turned up early, late as I was already I had to get on it. On my return and over the next few days I spent about 6 hours loitering on the platform and assessing other routes into the scrub, but heard not a thing. Seven other Iberian Chiffchaff were reported in the UK the same day, which adds credibility, but since the Barnes' bird is not looking as it will get the nod–as far as I know only one other person heard that singing–I don't hold out much hope for it being accepted as a first for Hertfordshire!<br />

Staines has had a fair number, even Amwell, but being lazy I was pinning my hopes on Rainham. I had missed the few through there on account of my tardiness and when I news of 4 on the KGV reached me I was watching zip at Rainham. Marco J suggested trying the reservoir the following day, but I wasn't that optimistic, but while I was unpacking the scope his quick scan revealed one had remained over night. Sweet!<br />
<br />
That, we assumed, would be as good as it got–the usual distant views of this enigmatic little bird as it worked its way into the prevailing wind, then letting the wind hurl it back to its starting point to start the process over again. It repeated this process over and over again as we slowly made our way up to the yacht club buildings. Our target achieved and with nothing else obvious on the southern basin we weren't too enthusiastic to face the hike to the north basin, which always seems to get less birds. then I noticed the tern flying towards us. It wouldn't surely come that close?<br />

Did I say it was doing to be hard to get motivated in February? Well
I was right. Now if January had lasted a few more days, that would
have been better. <br />
<br />
I reckon it was like that for most
London birders, absolutely nothing to get excited about–oh, there was a
Dusky Thrush, apparently, near the Banbury Reservoir, possibly. Like
the thrush last month it disappeared without trace, or maybe like the
Thames Ring-billed Gull–a hoax, or like yet another Cattle Egret claim,
just wrong!<br />
<br />
As for the diary? Bored of that already! <br />
<br />
Having said that early February was taken up putting together a talk for the NE London RSPB Group on "The importance of patch"<br />
<br />
What
was to be a call to keep it local and promote patch birding was quickly
changed to look what we've found on our patch! Of the 62 attendees, 2
of whom still thought they had come to hear Mike Dilger (he off the
telly), only a handful were under that magic number in age. Apart from a
few technical hick ups on my part (thanks to Gozia for helping me out
there!), it went OK, so much so they are thinking of inviting me to
speak at their AGM. However, I don't see it taking off as a new career.<br />
<br />
I also finished the main part of the Wanstead Bird Report for 2016, time consuming and not birding friendly.<br />

Images from a Lee Valley stroll with Marco J, taking in Galley Hill Wood, ostensibly looking for Goshawk (not a chance), and the White-fronted Goose residing there. A good day until I was informed my credit card had been hacked, only to be followed a few days later by my bank card–the replacement was subsequently stolen–leading to a month long period of penury. <br /><br />

<br />
<br />
This year I will be mainly doing a little diary. This year I will be mostly not doing Wanstead–except the good months, as there are few better places. This year I will be mainly doing London, with a few dinks outside the recording area for a bit of fun. This year I will not be working if it can be avoided.<br />
<br />
So another pointless London Year List then? <i>OK, you got me</i><br />
<br />
This year to keep the suspense I will not let on about the scores until the end. So no spoilers. So don't ask.<br />
<br />
<b>January</b><br />
<br />
From my totting up I make it about 150 species seen in London during the month, with the bird of the month being the Black-throated Thrush seen briefly in Finchley–the first for London, unfortunately it hasn't been tracked down as its associating with Redwing. The Fudge Duck at Staines could have done the decent thing and stuck around–could this be the same bird that has been wintering in and around London for the last few years? Then there were the Great White Egret that managed to hang on at Tyttenhanger through the freeze until, of course, the day I finally decided to visit. They hoofed it that morning, though Twitter suggested they were there just as I was getting off the train some 4 miles away. Of the three birds highlighted here they are the most likely to pop up somewhere during the year, most likely Rainham.<br />

My highlights were a singing Marsh Tit (not sure I've heard one sing before and a beautiful song) at Amwell just inside the LRA; having a Tawny Owl watch me for a few minutes before flying low over my head in Bush Wood, nearer to home; a ring-tailed Hen Harrier perched up on a fence post at dusk; the Great Grey Shrike after four attempts and many hours standing in the cold at Ingrebourne–probably the Wanstead bird as it turned up way back in last October; the Glauc, the Med, the Caspians and the grebes at Staines and the William Girling. <br />
<br />

Didn't happen due to a large intake of gin and vodka the night before<br />

<b>2nd–5th Wanstead</b><br />
<br />
Spent too long waiting for the Yellow-browed to show,which it did fleetingly on a couple of occasions, then played catch-up chasing down Firecrest, Treecreeper and Nuthatch in Bush Wood, a showy Water Rail by the Roding with the bonus of a soaring Buzzard over the Alex whilst waiting for the little sibe. Could have got most of these elsewhere but patch loyalty got in the way.<br />

<b>6th Rainham RSPB</b><br />
<br />
Those in the know say to get a good London list stay at Rainham and then pop away when something good turns up elsewhere. I don't think my metal health is up to that, Rainham is a bit of a required taste. Winter, however is the best time to visit, however not this winter, yet!<br />
<br />
Around 20 Avocet have taken a liking to the bay having been since there since Christmas, took me a couple of months to bag these last time. A Short-eared Owl showed beautifully as it glided over the salt marsh in front of me, Jack Snipe and Water Pipit east of the concrete barges, but no Rock Pipit. Always something you miss at Rainham meaning a return visit is required–Ringed Plover being the culprit for most of my visits.<br />

The Lea Valley gravel pits are a shoe in for the wintering diving ducks usually, and per chance a Bittern. While Goldeneye and Goosander were notched up pretty quickly on Bowers, the red-headed Smew seen the day before was not so obliging, and by the time I got to the right place for the Brambling it was getting too dark to see anything except the large numbers of Chaffinch and Linnet they had been associating with. I waited by 70 Acres lake as dusk fell on the off chance a Bittern would flop in, but it was so misty it would have had to be pretty close to see it. Numerous sharming Water Rail in the reeds added to the chilling atmosphere of the place.<br />
<br />
<b>8th Stratford, Queen Elizabeth Park to Walthamstow reservoir/Wanstead</b><br />
<br />
A long walk through the newly created park calling in on the Middlesex Filter beds and then to the Walthamstow Reservoir complex targeting Black Redstart (nope) and Peregrine at Westfield (distantly on a tower block and then another on a pylon by Coppermill Lane), Green and Common Sandpiper and the wintering Scaup snoozing the short days on No. 4. Actually my first visit to the new park and actually better than I thought it would be. More impressive were the amount of Little Grebe between Stratford and Tottenham Hale, around 50 birds on the river. The filter beds were poor, but the Scaup was easy, and asleep, but Stu's Black-necked Grebe had disappeared from High Maynard. The sandpiper were present and correct in the flood relief channel at the north end of Lockwood with a good few Chiffies flycatching from the hawthorns.<br />
<br />
With most of my targets done and the trains not too fucked up I high-tailed it back to Wanstead and my place on the Roding just as it was getting dark for Woodcock (tick) and then a quick tour of the park where I finally catch up with a calling and showing Tawny Owl in Bush Wood. May have used a tape lure, but sometimes you have to give a bit of active encouragement and it always thrilling to see owls especially the really nocturnal ones. By then it was too late for the Little Owl on the flats, but I gave it a go.<br />

<b>9th Rainham RSPB</b><br />

Already getting a bit bored with Rainham, but needs must. Rock Pipit and a few Black-tailed Godwit feeding on the shore line was a plus. <br />
<br />
<br />
<b>10th Harold Wood/Ingrebourne Valley</b><br />
<br />
Today I will go get Waxwing, I could wait till they arrive in Wanstead, but they might not come, so a short train trip and a brief walk to where they have been showing regularly. Luckily they decide to fly into a tree by the Big Yellow storage facility on the way there, and then fly off, which is my cue to go somewhere more interesting.<br />
<br />
And that place is the Ingrebourne.<br />
<br />
Luckily the connection between Romford and Upminster is running so I walk down the valley from Upminster Bridge. Luckily I bump into stalwart of the valley, Dave McGough who kindly offers to show me around and in particular where the Great Grey Shrike has been seen, and the best place for Yellowhammer and RL Partridge. He finds me Bullfinch (a bird that normally be accounted for in Wanstead, but not anymore) and shows me around Bonnets Wood. They have countryside here, farm land and probably the largest reed bed in Essex, stretching all the way from just below the new visitor centre to Rainham. It reminds me a lot of Radipole in Weymouth.<br />
<br />
Strike one for the Shrike<br />

Someone has reported the Cattle Egret is back on Wennington, someone later says that the guy who saw probably found a Little Egret. A lone Golden Plover on the tip path was the only highlight–they have been remarkably scarce here this winter. Oh and an adult Yellow-legged Gull in a small roost on Wennington (another at Barking Bay later).<br />

<b>12th Amwell, Great Hardmead Lake</b><br />
<br />
Smews you lose!<br />
<br />
Arrived with great expectations as 3 ducks had been seen frequenting the Great Hardmead for the previous few days. Armed only with bins the prognosis was not good when I arrived, the couple by the watch point had seen nothing. I got them on to a duck way at the back of the pit shortly afterwards and then had the three birds do a fly by at the hide to the east.<br />
<br />
I was here for Marsh Tit, a bird I had not seen here before but one supposed to come to the feeders by the reed bed hide. The feeders were empty as were the reeds from the hide. Luckily a tit started singing as I was about to leave and for that family a particularly beautiful song. It followed my back down the path and further into the LRA (I did do a check with a little bit of maths and the <br />
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><i>Calculate distance and bearing between two OS National Grid Reference points</i> site just to be sure). </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: normal;">By now I was wet and colder so went home.</span><br />

<b>14th Staines Reservoir/London Wetland Centre</b><br />
<br />
Usually good for a wintering diver or two, but with none reported anywhere in London my hopes lay in one being miraculously found by one of the locals on the day or news of one being suppressed. As there was only one other guy with bins when I arrived miracles weren't forthcoming. I too had decided to travel light on the assumption that a kindly local would lend me a scope view if necessary, This assumption was also naive, my experience with locals here has never been warm and inclusive, a point confirmed when I left and met one just arriving. He gave me a grunt as I passed. Put it down to spending long hours unprotected from the elements looking at grey horizons to the backdrop of Heathrow airport. Plenty of Goldeneye, but the Black-necked Grebes were putting up more of a fight. After about 2 hours I picked them up on the southern basin steaming determinedly towards me only to disappear without trace half way.<br />
<br />
The other problem with Staines is that you are in the world of Southern Railways who pretend to have a train service, one did finally turn up as I was just about to give up and die–and it was packed with football fans. I jumped ship at Putney and wandered round to the Wetland Centre for a look at the numerous Bittern they've had this winter, how hard would that be?<br />
<br />
I would make it hard. By choosing the Peacock Tower hide rather than the ones on the lagoon I managed to avoid any brown herons. I tried the wild side and the channels I've had some luck with before. As chucking out time approached I tried the last hide near the collection and after about 20 minutes picked up a brown smudge in the reeds. A guy behind me had a scope so I asked him if he could confirm it for me. It was Paul Hackett digiscoping King of Kowa, who'd had some good views of Bittern in all the hides I hadn't gone to.<br />
<br />
Arse so to speak!<br />

<b>16th Lyle Park/Victoria Park/Walthamstow Reservoirs</b><br />
<br />
At some point you have to confront gulls and in particular the Herring Gull complex. While I am no lariphobe I am a long way short of being larophile, which means I am pretty shit when it comes to first/second/third winter gulls of this particular niche. Luckily some up and coming geniuses in the form of Dante Shepherd and Jaimie Partridge had done all the hard work and discovered some rather obvious looking Caspians at Lyle Park, a place I was not familiar with. Handily it's near a DLR station and handily there were 3 of them on the low tide mud, handily I didn't need to linger.<br />
<br />
They apparently come to bread but they weren't going to share my jam and peanut butter sandwiches so I had to make do with record shots.<br />

<b>18th Tyttenhanger GPs</b><br />
<br />
Having just about cleaned up locally I need to spread the net further and the Great White Egret at Tyttenhanger had proved stubbornly immune to the freeze gripping the south east, having never been there but having heard so much about the place I made my carefully planned move.<br />
<br />
I would have to walk from Welham Green, the nearest station but the map showed footpaths and bridle paths for an interesting and fairly direct route. My chosen metaled track became an ice sheet, then a stream, then a muddy stream before disappearing into undergrowth which showed no signs of going over or under the A1(M). I would have to retrace my steps, especially as my map had fallen out somewhere along the path. Somewhere along the path turned out to be at the top of the slope where I had stopped to get my camera out to snap a close perched up Buzzard, which was in another county before I'd got the camera out.<br />
<br />
The retrieved map showed another route across an arable field, with ice gripping the ground how bad could that be? Six inches higher and a couple of stone heavier I reached a bridge over the motorway and another metaled track. From there on in it was easy reaching my destination just an half hour later than planned, which according to Twitter was around the time the egret(s) were last seen. Joy.<br />
<br />
I found the farm with London's one of two Tree Sparrow colonies but could not see feeders likely to attract said bird. I'll come back to that. Crossing the causeway on the main lake I met up with a birder, who I assume was Steve Blake, who gave me the gen on the sparrow feeders and the news that the egrets had absconded. I went back for the sparrows.<br />

Sparrows done I thought while I am here I would have a look around, and possibly pick up a Red Kite or two. Kerching!<br />
<br />
With two additions and everywhere looking ice gripped I decided to head home and see if I could snaffle the Wanstead Little Owl as a bonus. My walk back took along the Colne where a few Siskin were buzzing and feeding in the alders, another Red Kite shied away south and all in all it was quite pleasant in the sunshine.<br />
<br />
I aimed to go back by a different route avoiding the muddy field but the chosen footpath appeared to be someones garage, so muddy field it was.<br />
<br />
Didn't get the owl.<br />
<br />
<b>19th Practical works with the WREN Group Wanstead Park</b><br />
<br />
Took control of the Wren volunteers today to help me extend the reed bed on Shoulder of Mutton by thinning out the trees in the SE corner. A good time to discover your wellies are now leaking.<br />
<br />
While a work in progress we have probably helped to double the size of the reed bed in this corner, though I may have to try and persuade them back as my colleagues are less than enthusiastic about hard work. They'll appreciate it when the beardies and Penduline Tits start nesting!<br />
<br />
Hung around till dusk trailing a sodden right boot. Didn't get the owl.<br />

<b>22nd Grays Riverside/Bulphan Fen</b><br />
<br />
Grays riverside has one advantage over Rainham–it's the right side of the Dartford Crossing, which must put off a lot of birds. I've seen Grey Phalarope here before but today I was looking for a bit of Ruff, Ringos and Knot. I made do with godwit, Grey Plover and Turnstone. <br />

<br />
My main aim today was a quick exploration of Bulphan Fen, recommended to me by a couple of guys during the week. Again a new site to me and close to Ockendon station, a good thing. A ten minute walk got me out into open fields, and better still, on a good farm road. A flock of Golden Plover and Lapwing flew around a ploughed field–see proper countryside!<br />
<br />
Beyond the farm the road dipped down between old landfill sites and things got a load more promising–with usual associated features of landfill–drainage ditches, collection ponds and reed beds– a world of potential there. Beyond the old landfills it became more like the southern fens of Cambridgeshire but with a sandy loam soil rather than peat. A covey of 4 Grey Partridge were flushed from a field by Fen Farm, which also held dozens of Fieldfare, Skylark, Chaffinch and a few Reed Bunting and Yellowhammer, but no sign of any Corn Bunting. I did a loop just before reaching Bulphan crossing horse paddocks and a field of determined looking sheep, who moved en masse towards me.<br />
<br />
Back to Ockendon along the Mardyke as the sun set. No time to look around Orsett, that would have to be another day.<br />

A quick look at the flats before boarding a bus by the Alex to Gallions
Reach, where I had a a quick nose around before heading towards Barking
outfall. The weather was really manky, cold and a bit windy, but
surprisingly a good number of chiffies were still feeding in the outfall
channel. A large number of gulls on the adjacent roofs were stubbornly
not the Glaucous seen by Hawky at the weekend. The best news of the day
was that I could get a bus back to Forest Gate from the cinema complex.
Sweet.<br />

<b>24th Barking Outfall/Rainham RSPB/Wanstead Flats</b><br />
<br />
So with my new found knowledge of how to get from A to B and the weather being more clement I am back at Barking for a bit of gull mooching. Aaagh why do I bother, after about five minutes my brain closes down and I am in my happy place not seeing gulls.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The outflow channel was heaving with flycatching Chiffchaff and even the Sibe put in an appearance as did a Rock Pipit, which pleased Marco (who has a Newham list and for that deserves respect!) when I told him later–he still needs it. </div>

The outflow itself looks the mirror image of Crossness but is less smelly, which is good: what price a Bonaparte's Gull later...</div>

Back at Rainham, again. Finally I catch up with Ringed Plover, had a quick look at the Waxwing and headed off for another go at the Little owl.<br />
<br />
Got the owl.<br />
<br />
A plan that went well.<br />

<b>25th Swanscombe Marsh</b><br />
<br />
Another new site for me and another miserable day. Couldn't even see the first Raven I heard but later saw over the large reed bed that's here. Swanscombe is a site ear-marked for development by Universal to create a theme park, it would be a great shame if that were to happen, it is fantastic. Obviously not at its best on a day like today, but as its only a 15 minute walk from Ebbsfleet International its actually quicker to get here than it is to Rainham.<br />
<br />
I spent most of the time down on the shoreline as it appears I've done for the most of the cold snap. My reward: probably London's first Oystercatcher of the year and later a fly by adult Mediterranean Gull, which was sweet. My other targets of Bearded Tit and Dartford Warbler didn't materialise in the gloom, but I did find the biggest flock of Reed Bunting I've ever seen, at least 27 birds by a small flood.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>26th Milton Creek, Sittingbourne</b><br />
<br />
A day outside London today, ostensibly to see an old friend in a hospice in Gillingham. Gillingham is near enough Sittingbourne and near enough to where a Pine Bunting has been found. A plan, one which neglected the need for a scope or an up to date map and tried to forget the horror of the walk from Milton Creek to Sittingbourne station. Luckily someone showed me the bird through the scope and another kind gent gave me a lift back to the station.<br />
<br />
Year ticks of Greenshank and Knot on the mud flats.<br />

<b>27th Crayford Marsh</b><br />
<br />
Another site tick and another at threat open space. Hardly saw anybody out on the river wall and I didn't get shot so all good. Picked up 4 Bearded Tit by the Earith Yacht Club in the reed bed which is way more extensive than it looks from the Essex side. No sign of the Spotted Redshank reported earlier in the month, and no sign of any Corn Bunting either–but the I was apparently in the wrong place. The only downer of the day was watching the death throws of a Cormorant that had somehow had got his head wedged between a forked post in the river and hung itself. <br />

I can put it off no longer its Mandarin time.<br />

Having quickly added the said duck I thought to walk up to High Beech and see if I could find some Brambling and perhaps a Lesser Spot nearer Connaught Water. OK didn't get either but, bar the bikes, the loud dog walkers, and the louder kids, it was a very pleasant stroll.<br />

Fourth time lucky for the invisible shrike, but only after another four hours traipsing around virtually the whole of the Valley ending up in the "bomb pit" for the second time of the day. And I nearly missed it then.<br />

<b>30th Walthamstow Filterbeds/William Girling</b><br />
<br />
Four appears to be a lucky number for me. Fourth time lucky with the shrike and now my fourth attempt for a Glauc. I wasn't quite feeling so lucky as I stood looking at the filter beds from the train track side. After-all it had been a weekend sighting, when tips are shut and gulls have to look elsewhere for food and to hang out. Luckily it showed bathing in one of the tanks and even better from Coppermill Lane when it got out to preen.<br />
<br />
No sign of the Black Redstart which is now being seen in the filter beds rather than the reservoir like what I predicted.<br />
<br />
Late news on the London Wiki from the night before told of a Slavonian Grebe on the William Girling, but beggars can't be choosers.<br />
<br />
Now to see into the William Girling, which has no access, Thames Water have arranged for a hill to be created at Mansfield Park where you can get some uninterrupted views of the reservoir. All I can say they could have made it closer and less interrupted. Black-necked Grebe, going around in pairs, were easily found with two close in to the east bank. All of them were on the south end of the water, the north end apparently empty bar tufties. Two hours in, sandwiches finished, getting cold and desperate I check the north end one last time. A small grebe, which was not a Dabchick was paddling towards me. Now the trouble with the oversight of creating a hill so far away from the action is that you are continually having to zoom in and out as the birds dive in order to find them again. Luckily the determined little grebe was not diving yet so zooming in confirmed it as a Slav, which made me happy.<br />

Looking like it was going to be another day of toil, when we finally
managed to twitch one of the few Red-breasted Flycatcher found on the
islands, successfully! Buoyed by this success we lacked a plan and were
basically revisiting old haunts, when a White's Thrush was found on
Fetlar. Since we were half way up mainland this seemed possible: 2
ferries and the timing thereof, and a lot of driving for Hawky. The
extras of a slightly damaged Swainson's would be just the icing on the
cake.<br />

Another slow start, but another day notched up with me not falling flat somehow, somewhere. All good. Goldcrest appear to be on the increase, we will be knee deep in them in a day or so, as do Wheatear–seen more this year than probably all my other visits combined. Rarities had we none, but if the lads had followed my sage advice we could have probably scored. About 10 Yellow-broweds, they still arriving!<br />
<br />
Finally we caught up with a Black Redstart behind a Brake farm, and so perhaps tomorrow might be a goody, or might just be more hard work.<br />
<br />
Things added to the growing list today: Red-throated Diver, Lesser Black-backed Gull, Ruff, Black Redstart and Barnacle Goose (over 400 south during the morning–with some arse shooting at them at Grutness).<br />

Interestingly yesterday's flycatcher at Toab is probably a Collared
(kerching!), appears to the way people are reacting to Hawky's pic
posted last night on social media, however without DNA we are
screwed–which also appears to be the consensus. Of course today it had
scarpered, as had most , if not all, of yesterday's goodies. Today was
slow but we managed to pick up along the way: Velvet Scoter, Long-tailed
Duck, Great Northern Diver, a brace of Winchat, upwards of 10
Yellow-brows, Merlin, Pied and Spotted Flycatcher, 3 Slavonian Grebe,
Scaup, Whooper Swans, Arctic Tern, Bonxie–which anywhere else would be a
good haul–but this is Shetland.<br />

All and sundry promised a great day, but they've done that before and shit-all happened. Or nothing happened after we lucked upon a Rose Finch and then H found a Red-backed Shrike at the same place. It all went quietly down hill. A highlight was hearing a Great Northern Diver calling in the bay at Channerwick.<br />
<br />
Tomorrow though is another day.<br />

First a brief stop for a tick for Mr Howard of a Brunnich's Guillemot at Anstruther Port, which was just as well as it's disappeared (presumed dead) today.

What is happening with Little Stint and Curlew Sandpiper? Hundreds are being noted up and down the country where usually only tens are counted. I would love to think that is because these arctic waders are doing well and everything is rosy in the world, but sadly that wont be the case. Some weird weather systems that we can't appreciate or register even in our daily digest of all things weather related in this country, had brought these annuals in hefty volumes.<br />

My previous with both species had been one or two (or in the case of Curlew Sands 4-5 at Rainham), distant specks round the feet of their leggy cousins. Today I took the offer of a lift from James H to have an afternoon down at Oare. Kent has the best light for any wader watching in the Thames estuary–it's always to the south–and Oare has the best set up for close encounters.<br />
<br />
OK I had gone on the off-chance of the Baird's being firmed up following a "probable" sighting late morning, but the chance of seeing dozens of Little Stint and Curlew Sandpiper was enough to unloose the shackles of a lacklustre patch.<br />

Hundreds of Golden Plover, good numbers of Little Ringed Plover of all ages, Godwits (always godwits here), Spotted Redshank, scores of Redshank (I don't think I've ever seen a flock, and by that I mean scores of birds, as large), tens of Ruff, Lapwing, Snipe, Ringed Plover, Greenshank, Dunlin, Knot–a veritable wader banquette and the main stars over 30 of each of Little Stint and Curlew Sandpiper. While the Curlew Sands kept their distance the Stints occasionally came really close, but being the size of a sparrow, they could have come a lot closer to make photography easier. Some of the images that have been on the internet have been stunning, the scope views were just draw dropping.<br />

Every month I go and visit the little old lady in Stapleford who is my mother. She makes me try and do chores, I manage to wriggle out of them by falling asleep. I also manage to slip out of the house for a few hours down to an agricultural reservoir under construction just under a mile from the house. It has to be said this is a wonderful little patch and every time there is something of interest. Last night I refound the Pyramid Orchid (now plural) and well over 50 Bee Orchids–looking rather shabby and well past their best. Today, well!<br />

First up a Marbled White, my first here ever (and for the local), and then as I wondered slowly through the grass with my eyes to the floor, I chanced to look up. A large raptor was moving west over the water meadows just to the south of the village and just to the north of me I presumed a buzzard, but it didn't appear so as I had in my bins. Dark and long fingered I could get no structure on the upper or lower wings, Slightly greyer head and some two or three tones going on the back and wings. So probably Marsh Harrier I concluded seeing as Fowlmere is a few miles to the west and Marsh Harriers are not unusual there, but I had some doubt. Something reminded me of the Black Kite I had up the Roding last year. Both would a first for me in the area. I changed lenses and rattled off a few sadly distant images. However on looking at them later I noted a slightly forked tail. Certainly wasn't a Red Kite, as we had one fly over the house later which would have been a house tick for my mum had she not seen one last time I was back (she did add Hobby though!).<br />
<br />
So a Black Kite? No reports on RBA though... The consensus coming from later tweets: not enough fingers, ah well. Done by a Marsh Harrier again. Yay patch tick!<br />
<br />
Cue horribleness...<br />

Funny last time I had to put a report in on a raptor in London (2 Honey Buzzards over Beckton) I had to do the same for 2 Honey Buzzard over Stapleford (on my mum's house list), still have to do the BK for last year, and might need to stick this one in for Cambridgeshire!<br />

Things were quiet on the reservoir, a few Tufties and a single Little Ringed Plover–I presume they bred, but I didn't try too hard to find the proof. Today was about chasing butterfly and that was good: Brown Argus, Ringlet, Common Blue, Meadow Brown, Small Heath, Laarge and Small Skipper, Large White and Green-veined White<br />

I didn't manage to see last year's Great Knot as it arrived and departed while I was training intern bankers, ah well! This year I thought my chance of catching up with this superb bird were also a lost cause–the Saturday I had free was winterish and there had been no sign of the bird, so I went back to bed. It popped up again and appeared to be getting into a routine–this time I will get you!<br />
<br />
Roll-on the weekend checking its presence on RBA it was all go, apart from the enthusiasm squashed by millions of my fellow countryfolk. Somehow I found myself at Kings Cross, no thanks to ongoing work on the tube. A bitter tweet later and I find that I am not the only birder from London on the pilgrimage. Jonathan Wassse is ahead of me and already on the "hopper" speeding circuitously through north-west Norfolk, until like a tagged-harrier his signal is lost along the coast. The bird was at Gore Point but now has flown with its cohort of thousands of regular Red Knot up to Scolt Head. Titchwell I reckoned would be the best bet.<br />
<br />
After 12:00 I finally arrived at Titchwell and immediately felt better at this most intimate of reserves, it didn't appear too busy–the usual mix of hapless and the intense birder community. I had a peak at the Knot on the scrape, a couple of Ruff too, the male still in breeding neck adornment and still a bit frisky, in the company of Sean Kerrigan, now becoming a bit of a fixture at Wanstead (could have given me a bloody lift me thinks!). We decide to mootch down to the beach where a falling tide might bring in our target. It didn't but never mind, it served up a mixture of Common, Little and Sandwich Tern, some Barwits, a Curlew and looking back over the marshes a Spoonbill and a fly-by Hobby–more than enough to pass the time by quickly. I may have also been smitten by a young lady with blonde hair who was in the expectant crowd.<br />

Jonathan W was there too and some of his birding chums from Barnsley, who I could just about understand. Time ticked on, too late for Sean who had to get back to London, and the tide gradually receded down the beach exposing the oyster beds that Knot were meant to favour. A few hundred popped over the dunes to have a feed but the Scolt Head mob just bombed through west. So Gore Point is then. Jono and I made to leave, but I got distracted by a very showy Spotted Redshank close to the path still in much of its summer plumage. Well you would.<br />

Not so Mr Wasse, made of sterner stuff, who ventured off on his own. After a a quick coffee and a check of the bus times–one was on its way–and the coffee ends up in a bush. Time enough on the bus to realise I wasn't actually sure where Gore Point was, no matter I would do the decent thing and walk from Thornham and check the beach along the way. Of course now I was playing against the clock and the last "hopper" back to Kings Lynn, and I would have probably missed the action if it hadn't been for birders coming the other way.<br />
<br />
Jonathan meanwhile I had been offered a lift round to Holm Golf Course and had made it to the point way ahead of everyone and with a few minutes of setting up his scope had the bird. Unfortunately he couldn't get the news out until another birder with a Norfolk friendly service rolled up. When I arrived a small gaggle were present and luckily so was the bird in amongst thousands of reds. It kept to the back and every so often would scurry through the crowd and disappear again. Smart bird, rather like a big Turnstone, which reminds me I still need that!<br />

Not impressed–neither am I. What I have achieved is to manage to go and view someones well publicised find and see it.<br />
<br />
Does it make me a good birder? Hardly (second division at most!)<br />
Is it important? Not in the least<br />
<br />
Has it made me a better birder? In someways it has, though I am still very able to conjure up a major cock-up or two!<br />
<br />
So what?<br />
<br />
It has, and still is great fun–if I can be bothered: two London ticks were available this weekend (Purple Heron and Spotted Sandpiper) and while I would been very happy to be looking at them, the thought of traveling to see them was well beyond my enthusiasm. Yet just a few weeks ago I managed to muster enough energy to go and see the Great Spotted Cuckoo (Portland), Great Reed Warbler (Little Paxton), and the Iberian Chiffchaff (Barnes). All very worth while and birds I had wanted to see/hear for a few years now. An added bonus of a Gull-billed Tern at Lodmoor was a fluke.<br />

Flukes = self found birds. The very best birders have impressive lists of the self-found. I was going to list a retrospective of my top 100 self-found birds, but I haven't found that many, and I wouldn't necessarily say that any skill was required other than being in the right place at the right time. That would be more like patchworking, and it comes as no surprise that most of my self-founds are on patch, but that is more to do with context (London vs. other birding hot spots).<br />
<br />
Patchwork is however a plus towards being a good birder–know your site and what to expect and with patience and long hours find the unexpected. Easy! If only. For the most part it is unrelentingly dull, but being out in nature is its own reward. I just wish I was more competent at recognising what I am looking at. Take for example this rather splendid wasp. There are thousands of species of wasp (apparently!) in the UK and I can name few if any of them. <br />

I would dearly love to be a better naturalist, but time may be against
me. Roll-on September when I shall be giving up work for a bit and
smashing the patch.<br />

I was going to write a series of reports like in previous year's, but I've forgotten most of the timeline (and the names of the myriad of new places we visited) as my spirit is crushed by the corporate machine. I also got bored. So this year just a very short summary.<br />
<br />
129 species seen: one lifer; eleven to add to the Shetland list (181) and a hat-full of year ticks–because I haven't gone anywhere else, or so it feels. My sixth visit to the fabled islands, which makes 181 a pretty decent score for just shy of fifty days. Next year I would love to go in the spring and watch Phalaropes spinning on the little lochs, Puffins on Sumburgh head, and Orcas.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile next Autumn is already being planned...<br />

Picking me up from Cambridge we headed north in high expectation and the promise of a few stop-offs up the east coast. The first of those was Bempton–a shoe in for a Yellow-browed and other northern European waifs. Well that didn't happen. It was quiet. We made our way up the coast path to the Heligoland trap at Buckton, which also was quiet and then walked back. No sooner had we left than a YBW was reported setting a trend for the rest of the next two days: we would visit and leave and a YBW would be reported soon after.<br />
<br />
We stopped off at a few places in Yorkshire and had a further stop in Northumberland, somewhere near Sea-houses where the year before Mr B and Howard V had discovered Willow Tit, rare as anything these days. They, happily, were still there after a bit of searching, and gave us some good views in not really the habitat I would have associated with them.<br />

We spent the night just outside Edinburgh and headed quickly up to Aberdeen the next morning. What had been glorious sunshine changed to thick fog north of the city, and our luck with little sibe warblers didn't change. Sea-watching looked a prospect but then that too disappeared into a North Sea blanket of mist as the ferry set off from the harbour. It did clear somewhere during the night long enough for a Meadow Pipit to find its way on board.<br />

At Kirkwall I managed to double my Orkney list with the inclusion of a
Black-headed Gull that I filthily twitched from the back of the boat
around midnight. Two Magners and a bottle of red later I slept like a
drunk on the floor–something I would become familiar with over the next
week!<br />

Andy L found a Richard's by Sumburgh Farm, but we all scored with an OBP that had pitched down at the last garden on Scatness. Much the best views I've had of this Shetland autumn regular. Perhaps it could have come a tad closer...<br />
