counting coots

The weekend was dominated (ornithogically) by Little Owl, Yellow Wagtail, Red Kite, Goldcrest and Great Spotted Woodpecker.

The Owl and Kite for obvious reasons, the Yellow Wagtail was a London tick but perhaps most significantly the latter two.  Reader, in the space of 5 minutes on Saturday I picked up two Loo ticks, yes two.  There was a fair size flock of tits roaming around, with Goldfinches and Chaffinches and tagging along with them was a Goldcrest, which was nice.  While pondering on how nice this was, a Great Spotted Woodpecker entered stage left and landed in a tree.  Double nice.

No post would be complete without a picture, so here is a picture of a post.
