SPRING IS COMING AT COATE WATER
A pleasant hour or so spent at Coate Water as I had to renew my permit for the hides. Nothing much going on at Hide 1, but the lane between the two hides was alive with birdsong, with severa malel blackcaps seen and heard as well as chiffchaffs. The common sandpiper reported yesterday was no longer around. Birds seen today were canada geese, mute swans, gadwalls, tufted ducks, great crested grebes, mallards, blue tits, great tits, chaffinch, reed bunting, grey heron, blackcap, chiffchaff, wood pigeon, blackbird, robin, herring gull, lesser black backed gull, moorhen and coot.
