Usual Route Clangs

I was ahead on points bird wise this am but then rather foolishly I left the house. The first half of the slog did produce a few birds but the second leg was abysmal even by my own skeptical standards.

Raggalds: 10 Lapwing & c90 small Gull sp on the sports field.
Soil Hill: c28 Lapwing & c100 small Gull sp. 1 Skylark ditto Pied Wagtail & 2/3 Meadow Pipit.

Ogden Res: about as near to a birding vacuum it's possible to get; usual Gulls.
I found this ginger nut on the golf course, the first I've ever seen. I believe it is the caterpillar of the Ruby Tiger Moth.



From then on to Poxenden it was so dire I started to think that Magpies actually count as birds!#@?¥!
Just 1 Cormorant & 7 BHG on the water.
