Between 2 meetings, I managed to fit in a couple of hours at the London Wetlands Centre.
It was predominantly a wet and windy day and most self-respecting birds were keeping themselves well away from view. Thus apart from the feeder area, the majority of bird activity was on the lakes. The usual array of waterbirds were present, but the Gargeney and Pintail seen earlier in the week appear to have moved on.
The only other sightings of note were two species of woodpecker and a brief view of a peregrine.
On the way to the station in the morning I had seen the Sparrowhawk over the Tarn.
