On a visit for work, and after a meeting today, I managed a walk along the Thames path from Brentford to Chiswick, somehow avoiding the rain.
A couple of highlights were a pair of grey wagtails at Brentford docks and a very tame common tern at Point wharf (? a small marina just where the R Brent joins the Thames)
But generally a pleasant stroll with plenty of other birdlife, including wrens, great tit, tufted duck, a lot of grey heron roosting in the trees on the small islands, a coot, a moorhen (flushed out of the bushes by a fox wandering along the mudflats), mute swan (with cygnets), canada geese (with goslings), and a large party of b/h gulls with a couple of lesser blackback. Oh, and the continual cocophony of rn parakeets!
