Checking for bird news
Rainham
Started off at Rainham where we met Sue. Had a walk round the reserve- highlights being Green Hairstreak, first-summer male Garganey, Cuckoo and 2-3 Hobby. Then we had lunch at the centre, had a chat with Howard about rebel stuff (that Sid declared as boring lets go!) before heading over to Penny's where we picked up a box of dead bird specimens (say no more, say no more). Then we headed back to Beddington- the Mute Swans on Southern Lake have hatched. We did a bit of sweeping the vegetation and now I've got an evening ahead trying to identify some of the bugs we caught.
