Today the weather was pretty dire but a peak over my garden fence in Barming saw a good flock of Fieldfare feeding on the wet grass. At lunchtime I walked over to the West Malling and Mill Street tetrad. I spent most of my time in the overgrown orchard just S of the railway line and Cottenham Close, East Malling. The old fruit trees were dripping in
Lichens and
Moss, quite a sight.
Despite the drizzle it was full of life;
Blue and
Great Tits constantly calling,
Blackbirds feeding along the many paths and three new tetrad ticks in the form of 7x
Bullfinches, 2x
Goldcrests and a flyover
Herring Gull. A
Little Egret was also seen on the Watercress Beds near Springhead.
