Saturday 19th Saturday 26th
A single Starling was all that I could record for the RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch. Still there's always tomorrow.
Solitary Starling for Birdwatch
Highlights today was a Little Egret flying over the River Cole at Covingham and the Starlings over Nythe again:
There's been a Little Egret along the River Cole for most of this winter. It's quite possible that the photo below, which I took on the 5th January is today's bird.

The huge Starling flock I saw yesterday over Covingham, not only changed their fly-over time but also there flight plan. I was just going to the front of the house where they passed over from right to left at 4:30pm yesterday, when I suddenly caught them flying behind me as I was coming out the back door at 4:15pm. I just managed a couple of shots, but its difficult to get all 5000+ Starlings in the viewfinder. Yet again very impressive as they passed overhead heading north.
