A rare visit to Rainham Marsh today. 3 Great Egret & a high tide roost of 53 Blackwit, 9 Curlew. A dozen Swallow knocking around, a late Reed Warbler. Wildfowl numbers building slowly with increasing numbers of Teal, Wigeon & Pintail + 2 rather smart male Cape Shelduck #londonbirds#UKBirding

Hit a rather wet Wanstead patch this morning, increase numbers of Stonechat (10+) 2 Whinchat & a single Wheatear. Small pockets of Hirundines going SW between the showers #LondonBirds

Knot still present this evening at Coursers Road GP’s #hertsbirds#londonbirds#ukbirds#ukbirding

At least 2 whinchat and 4 stonechat today on Walthamstow Marsh. I didn't get any photos so I asked chatgpt to help. Pretty good male stonechat, but its attempt at a whinchat looks like a cross between a female stonechat and a meadow pipit. #LondonBirds#BirdsArentReal.

Never seen a red kite over my part of London before! Travel zone 2 and about a mile from the congestion charge boundary so really quite central. It was mobbing, and being mobbed by, a single crow over my local park. #LondonBirds 🪶

Quick local twitch with baby to see the Whinchats on Walthamstow Marshes. Yellow Wagtail also. #ukbirding#londonbirds#birdsebird.org/checklist/S1...

Northern Wheatear - KGV Reservoirs (London - E4) 3/9/24 #londonbirds#birds#birding#ukbirding#ukwildlife#ukbirdphotography

My first ever London Sandwich Tern at Beckton today, flying down river in the blazing sun #londonbirds

My baby girl eventually fell asleep and let me observe this quality patch bird, Tree Pipit. Patch tick for me and my little London local nature reserve, WaterWorks NR. ebird.org/checklist/S1..#ukbirding#birds#londonbirds

Highlights from Walthamstow marsh this morning were a Tree Pipit on the deck and, in lieu of the hoped for wryneck, an anti racist takeover of the local cruising spot. #londonbirds
