Red kite
As it was a sunny afternoon I spent a couple of hours at Coate water country park. Only a few people around today and the lake was being used by a rowing club, so pushing all the birds towards the nature reserve.
On and around the main lake I saw Canada geese, mute swans, mallards, coots, moorhens, pied wagtail, tufted duck, great crested grebe, magpie,goosanders, goldcrest, grey heron, black headed gull, lesser black backed gull, blackbird.
At Hide 1 there were also the usual blue tits, great tits, robin, dunnock, chaffinch and wren and at Hide 2 gadwall, shoveler..
