[QUOTE="dantheman, post: 1396000, member: 32998"] [B]20/01/09[/B] Swanley Park, Kent 38 Grey Wagtail, flying over [B]22/01/09[/B] Received an email just after lunch to say that there were 5 Waxwings showing well opposite Ruxley Manor Garden Centre, near Sidcup. Since it was only about 2 miles away, I decided to go for it and walk rather than drive. Only having seen Waxwings on 2 occasions before, this seemed a slightly brave move, but the right one in the circumstances. It was only a short step further on to visit some disused gravel workings which I had only 'discovered' (Well, been shown by another BF member) a few days previously. Unfortunately the star attractions (Kingfisher and Water Rail) not on display this time, but nonetheless, plenty of extra species not normally to be found in Swanley Park. The walk back to Swanley ended up in the dark, but still fun as I was intently scanning for owls (no chance!). 39 Waxwing 5 40 Fieldfare 41 Little Grebe 42 Gadwall 43 Teal 44 Mute Swan 45 Tufted Duck 46 Ruddy Duck f 47 Great Crested Grebe 48 Pochard 49 Greylag Goose 50 Grey Heron 51 Song Thrush [/QUOTE]
