Wigeon

Gave the patch a proper walloping today. Covered WaterWorks, Walthamstow Marshes, East and West Warwick, Lockwood, High and Low Maynard. I even put the benches together in the East Warwick hide and had a 30 minute nap while the heavens opened up midday. I quite liked lying there, listening to the wind and rain pummel the rickety old thing. 

Photos not getting any better.
And what did I get in return? The female Brambling continues to tease my lense in the rear paddocks. And an hour before it properly pooped it down late in the afternoon, a male and female Wigeon made an appearance half way up Lockwood. Patch Year Bird #83
