scoter at amwell, london

 I stopped off at amwell on the way home from work in hope of seeing 4 common scoter . This is first time I have seen scoter inland and being in the london area it was worth this visit .

melodious warbler

I got a call from shaun and paul to say there was a melodious warbler in leyton I was at work , they was on their way and it was only 9.30am . After working and thinking about it all day I finished the job at 3pm and made my way to Leyton , when I got there half a dozen birders were looking for it and I was soon on it tick on run . After moving my van before it got a ticket I returned for some excellent views and heard it singing  .

connaught waters

I took the dog for a walk over connaught waters with karen and the kids . It was very quiet bird wise but always nice to see the resident mandarin ducks and the chance of a couple of photos .

seo in northweald

I passed this owl whilst driving down a lane near the air field northweald , so quickly reversed in the car and started recording on my phone my first thought was seo but after it went I started doubting myself . Its a terrible video but better than nothing I never seen one in northweald its great record .
