We had a well attanded walk [18 participants] around Cosmeston this morning. It was nice to welcome a couple of new members. It was hard work but we managed a fairly respectable 37 species. Highlights at the start were a Water Rail and 2 Redpolls at the dipping pond and an adult Mediterranean Gull by E. lake. Minuses were dipping on Marsh Tit in Cogan Wood, and no Yellow-legged Gull. A highlight at the end was a flock of c.20 Siskins feeding in Alder by the golf course. Photos below include some I grabbed of a pretty viscious fight between Great Crested Grebes, caused by 2 pairs displaying within a few feet of each other. Robin, Great Tit and Blue Tit fed from my hand in Cogan Wood. Click here for the full list.
