Crowds at Leybourne Lakes

Crowds of people, but also Blackcaps, a Willow Warbler, and at least FOUR nightingales singing away. Also 2 Green Woodpeckers, many Blackbirds, 1 Songthrush, say 8 Tufted Duck, 2 Great Crested Grebe, 7 Coot, 25 Greylags, 2 Canada Geese, 20+ Black-Headed Gulls, 10+ Herring Gulls, 1 Great Black-backed Gull, 15 Herons, 6+ Mallard, 1 Reed Bunting, 4+ Chaffinches.

There were a few Black-headed Gulls by the main bird-feeding area. This is a First Summer bird having a go at a dark hood and a dark red bill! It looks moderate!


This one appears less advanced, with not much of a hood at all, and with a light orange bill and legs.
