Counting Crows

It warmed up quite nicely this afternoon but pushed for time, I headed down to Walthamstow Marshes to see what was occurring there. Deciding to have a decent look round, I picked up a nice fresh White Wagtail in with a flock of 40+ Pied Wagtail on the rear paddocks.

Apart from that it was reasonably quiet but for a male Kestrel, a count of 81 Carrion Crow, and three singing Chiffchaff.

Heading back past the paddocks, there was a decent flock of finches containing around 25 Linnet, at least ten Chaffinch and a Goldfinch.

Five Fieldfare and two Redwing were also present.
