I am not entirely sure why but I am enjoying my walks at Amwell and Rye Meads.... I did to go back to Hatfield Forest at some time probably in the spring. Actually when certain events happen I will do more birding still.
Anyway the forecast today was decent so I decided I'd go birding.... it didn't hurt that I was a bit late getting out (by my standards)
I wandered to Amwell first. It was quiet, the only migrant I saw was a Goldeneye but before I crossed the bridge I saw a lovely Goldcrest and there was a singing Song Thrush.
I went for a walk and saw the odd Goldfinch and the usual ducks a highlight though was 2 Red Kites over the river. Annoyingly trees got in the way of a photo.
The usual suspects at the feeding station
I wandered back to the look out point
A lovely little stroll.
So to Rye Meads just down the road.
Again it was very quiet. Although the RSPB released the Green Sandpiper for me! No so close today
As I wandered back to the visitor centre a Goldcrest flitted about...
A relaxing day

Lovely bird photos Pete. I am hoping to get out birding more this year - I did so little last year and realised come December how much I had missed it!
i really ought to go further a field but I am enjoying the local strolls.... I may get further a field later in the year
