A Grey-t start to the day ...

Well actually , it started Black , Blacky , the male BLACKCAP was feeding on one of the apples I put out last week in the Garden - this is the 4th visit this year, also Song Thrush on the lawn.

The misty conditions looked great , but I was sorting some stuff out in the study and had to get ready to drive to Wokingham, a large bird caught my eye as it flew low over the rooftops ...... GREYLAG GOOSE ! Could'nt believe it ! , I was still in shock when I went out into the back garden 5 minutes later , and pondering what i was going to say in this hallowed Blog , i look out the back and the same Greylag is flying along Church road at the end of the park ! Crazy

I then go to Wokingham , Caldecotte , College Lake ;-) !!!! YES ! before stopping off @ Wymbush and Big arm for a quick look

I had only been lamenting to Steve earlier in the day how no Pied Wags have been anywhere near Bradwell , when a smart male PIED WAGTAIL flys in calling , looks at the pools and heads back off over the industrial estate, only the 2nd this year on the patch , i then drive round to the Layby and scan the Big Arm , the Pied Wag takes pity on me and flys in calling as if to say , well bloody look at me then ! A quick scan reveals .... GEORGE !!! The Greylag , he found the lake ;-) and was nicely settled into sitting down with the mallards

And to think I was worrying ;-) (YT-61) 

George !
