The Jubilee River

With rain forecast for the afternoon I took a walk along the river to the flood on this breezy, brightish morning, and found a redpoll again in the silver birch, although it eventually switched to one of the alder trees.


When I walked back later the redpoll was feeding low down in the trees and bushes on the river side of the plantation, along with goldfinches, tits, and a chiffchaff. It was very hard to see, so I counted myself lucky to have had close views earlier.

Otherwise, a little egret was on the flood, and lapwings kept going up for apparently no reason whatsoever. Perhaps they do it for the exercise.
