Shard End Lake.






Nice to get out on a lovely Autumnal morning blessed with clear blue skies and sunshine.

Somebody or people had clearly been naughty this morning what with the police helicopter, unmarked cars and even seeing a police dog handler out looking for an offender or offenders, too many scumbags about these days.

Anyway back to the all important birding, again like Wednesdays visit to Babbs Mill Nature Reserve I was hoping to see Shoveler or maybe Goosdander on the lake, sadly there was neither just the normal waterfowl you'd expect to see, which none the less were still great to see. Highlight of the day was the highly sight and and sound of four Sparrowhawk flying overhead, I've never seen that many flying together before and they were certainly very loud.

Birds seen today were, Sparrowhawk, Blue Tit, Great Tit, House Sparrow, Wren, Dunnock, Robin, Starling, Jay, Song Thrush, Blackbird, Woodpigeon, Carrion Crow, Magoie, Grey Heron, Moorhen, Coot, Tufted Duck, Mallard and Domestic Duck.
