Saturday 27th November
Went birding this am with the local Richmond and Twickenham RSPB group for the first time. To one of my local patches! 10 of us in all.
37 types spotted ( some had 38!) I missed the 1 grey wagtail among the lots of Pied!
Good time! Very friendly folk...and a couple of v. knowledgeable birders(well more knowledgeable that others!!)
Kingfisher and Kestrel my high lights altho' we heard a Little Owl but no sighting.Some said they'd seen a female KF but we didn't.A large flock (about 50) Long Tailed Tits with Blue and Great and Chaffinch/Greenfinch and Goldfinch whizzing around (do Finches whizz?)
but the female Kestrel had fun buzzing a flock of Goldfinch we didn't see her catch any tho' seemed content to sit in trees..and occasionally buzz the finches!!
Went back on Sunday am and Kingfisher there...no female...didn't see a Grey Wagtail either!(but a good one on Bill Oddie Sunday evening!!!)
