Sunday 29th November

During a break in the rain I took the kids to jump in puddles at Barming Bridge. The river was almost breaking the banks, I'm sure it'll be in full flood tomorrow if the rain continues. I stood on the bridge for 15 minutes while the kids entertained themselves in the mud/puddles and was quite pleased with the number of species I saw:

Kingfisher
Moorhen
Mallard
Long-tailed Tit
Blue Tit
Great Tit
Fieldfare
Redwing
Blackbird
Starling
Crow
Woodpigeon
Collared Dove
Wren
Goldcrest
Dunnock
Chaffinch
Greenfinch
Goldfinch
Green Woodpecker
GS Woodpecker
Sparrowhawk

There's something to be said for just standing around in the rain!
