    Highgate-Waterlow Park

    Went to Waterlow Park to look for the Firecrest, but although I saw several Goldcrests, and some nice birds (Chaffinches, Greenfinches, Goldfinches, Siskins, Redwings, Mistle Thrushes, Long-tailed Tits, Coal Tits and a Nuthatch) I really couldn't find the Firecrest, if it was there.

    Yes, I get where you are coming from with this. They are fairly common along the brooks up there, along with Dippers. But the day I saw one sitting on my London fence, well, let's just say I thought I needed to see a good optician at the very least!

    Yes, a fantastic Bittern, eventually. It caught a massive fish while I watched. Wonderful. I went from work so only had a monocular with me. Still managed to see the detail on the plumage - a really special bird for me this one.

    Thanks Angus, I'm North London so I might have a wander over there soon; GPS at the ready as I hear you can get lost for days if you stray from the path.

    Well done on the happy event of your Firecrest! B (: I'd forgotten about this thread- it's really quite enjoyable. I will have to start something similar, though I'm not sure I can match the humour, coming from a bit to the north of Manchester. Keep up the good work Angus. :t:

    Highgate-Waterlow Park

    Excellent idea for a thread. I like the London Birder's site, but it's quite impersonal and lacks details. Seems everyone else is seeing Crossbills but me. :-C
