Naturelog Monday 9th November

Working at home although it was a surprise that any work got done given the activity in the garden. All the usual residents paid a visit and for the first time I managed to get all of our 4 Thrush species (Blackbird, Song Thrush, Mistle Thrush and Redwing) in the garden on the same day.

The day was rounded off by 2 Little egrets flying over the garden at 3pm (first record for the patch) and over 100 Ring necked parakeets, going to roost at Hither Green, in 5 minutes over the station around 4pm as I waited for a train
