| Post subject: | South Forty Foot Drain @ Chain Bridge, Boston |
On the way to Oldrids, I took the opportunity to get the bins out and do 5 mins birding up South Forty Foot drain at Chain Bridge. I observed the stretch of water immediately to the east of the bridge. Amazingly fruitful offerings! Mallard - 4 pairs. Tufted Duck - 5 Mute Swan - 2 Greylag Goose - 1 Coot - at least 8 Moorhen - 3 Great Crested Grebe - 1 pair courting Wren - 1 singing in the drainside vegetation. These all expected, but not these: Little Grebe - 1 pair Gadwall - 2 pairs Goldeneye - 1 pair, frequently diving for food. Grey Wagtail - 1 on rocks alongside the drain. Mistle Thrush singing from a TV aerial along Glen Drive. Also, a Song Thrush has been visiting my garden daily for about a week now - hoping this is a good sign of potential nesting here this summer! |
