Two Tree Island and Gunners Park, Essex, 21/4/2013

Another superb morning, blue sky, pleasant temperature, little to no wind, it's like Spring has arrived !

Two Tree Island, Essex.

Nightingale, 2 singing, 1 seen but distant, possible 3rd.
Common Whitethroat, several !
Linnet, 3
Greenfinch, Dunnock, Meadow Pipit, Skylark, Wren
Green Woodpecker
Barn Owl, (not seen by me)

No Grasshopper Warbler.

Mediterranean Gull, 2 over

No Avocet !

Onto Gunner's Park, Shoeburyness,

a Kestrel would not allow it's photo to be taken,
no Long-tailed Duck,
but the Mallard looked stunning, with nice reflections (my excuse for photographing Mallard ! )

A cracking morning out !
