It was our work xmas curry yesterday and it was quiet on the quoting front so I stretched the day out to London by stopping off for breakfast at Knepp (had a wilding full English and bought some wilding meat for xmas) and spent the afternoon at Beddington Farmlands, the first visit this year I think. 49 species of nearly 900 individuals HERE with highlights including Green Sandpiper, Lapwings, Shelduck, Firecrest and Chiffchaff. Also had a quick walk round Beddington Park too.
Lapwings hanging in there (11 birds on North Lake)
Urban birding habitat shots (above and below)
The once great wetland of 100 acre (with hundreds of wintering Teal and breeding Lapwings) was more or less completely dry.
