Lots of Great Egret everywhere, flocks of Pintail and Wigeon, the first ‘winter’ gulls (Black-legged Kittiwake and Glaucous-winged Gull)…not quite wintry but very autumnal.

Apart from crossbills a pretty quiet day…
More spring action

The Great Egret is still there too…
Some commoners
Some common birds from this morning…
Quiet in the bigger park
Not much action in the other, bigger park…

More non finches

More mild weather.

More birds on the river
I was checking the crossbills mainly but there were other birds around…
