I write this blog as a diary of my birding time and that time is at the moment dominated by my continued walks around the King George V reservoir in Chingford around five miles from home and so the blog I'm afraid is also dominated by the diary posts of those walks.
I walked the four miles again today and found 8 Common Sandpipers and a Redshank of interest. As far as new ticks for July I managed to see a Kingfisher and my first Green Woodpeckers were also heard. Tufted Ducks continue to return to complete their winter moult and have sored from just 52 on 1st July to 383 today.
I've set myself a target for July of 80 species and currently sit on 69 so I have to find a few unexpected ticks if I'm to hit that target. I'm yet to see Pheasant, Hobby and House Martin all of which I would expect to cross paths with at some point this month on the George but after that I'm looking for some passage birds to help but I think 80 may have been a bit optimistic.
