January 2nd

A quick trip into work saw me pick up a couple of species, namely Jay and Little Egret, on the East Malling Research site that had taken me until February in 2007 to spot. Hopefully this will bode well for the 2008 site species count. However I failed to locate the geese flock of geese that have frequented the alke and fields around Bradbourne House, although an email from Ian Sheperd in Wouldham confirmed 3 Barnacle Geese had been on his patch with a flock of Canada Geese, presumably the same flock I'd been seeing in East Malling.
