Sorry for the lack of updates. I haven't done much and/or the weather has been to dull to make it worth taking the camera out!
Before I went on holiday I had a nice walk tick a Mute Swan! (72nd of the year and 77th since I started walking) in fact 2 an adult and a juvenile. Indeed as they were there for 2 days I was concerned that the pond was big enough for them to take off but they have gone!
There seems to be only one foal left on the common although I suspect one of the others is there and is now tethered :( Actually I am pretty sure Bramble the first black foal is there and tethered. I guess I am now waiting for next year.
There are plenty of ducks on my local ponds
This is one of 2 adult Moorhens!
and one of 6 teenagers. I wonder how many there were this year?
I wandered to Netteswell pond is fairly big and I keep hoping it will show something interesting in winter alas it didn't last winter and nothing today. Just lots of Moorhens, Mallards and a family of 7 Canada Geese (I wondered if they were the family who have been on the common pond).
The odd gull out.... Herring Gull,
Black Headed Gull
The Common Starling. But those colours aren't common! It is a pretty little bird
I wonder what winter will give? A Siskin ? Maybe if I'm lucky a Waxwing?

That is a super number of species for your walk list. Good luck with Siskin, Waxwing and a possible Ring-necked Parakeet :)
