WALTHAMSTOW AND HACKNEY MARSHES

A quick stroll around the local area this morning revealed 130 Common Gulls and 4 Rose-ring-necked nastiness (oh dear)in Millfields Park. Waterworks held just 1 Shoveler but also a Chiffchaff (seemingly quite scarce around here this winter). Walthamstow Marshes hosted 11 Meadow Pipits, an imm Stonechat and there were 10 Mistle Thrushes and 8 Fieldfares on the horse field. The Little Owl was in it's usual tree.
