Kingfisher provides splash of colour

16th September 2008 - murky and damp SE2
Offshore
A cursory glance over the sea produced 2 Shag and a Black Guillemot.
Grounded Migrants
Little evidence of any new arrivals with just a handful of Goldcrest and a Chiffchaff logged.
Wildfowl and Waders
A group of 10 Shoveler were seen and waders included 6 Greenshank and a Black-tailed Godwit.
Miscellaneous
A Kingfisher was new for the year and 2 Merlin were logged. A gathering of 34 Little Egrets along the eastern shore eclipses all previous records.
