On saunday I popped over to Oare Marshes and there were plenty of birds about. On the sea wall there was a turnstone running about

Hares, waders and other birds at Elmley
Saturday, 14. November 2009, 12:37:31
Carrying on from my last post, where I had just reached the actually RSPB reserve. We checked out most the hides and saw very little, nothing close enough to photograph. So we then head to far hide that was a fair old distance away. When we arrived we looked out over Windmill creek and there was a flock of Knots nearby
Elmley Marshes

On Monday I visited the Elmley Marshes RSPB reserve on Sheppey. The drive in is through the NNR managed area is great, as birds can be seen right next to the road, like this curlew
Bedfords Park: red deer, woodpecker and devils coach horse
Tuesday, 10. November 2009, 16:33:05
In between my 2 visits to Raphaels Park on Saturday I went up to Bedfords Park. It was quiet, both in terms of people and wildlife, but in the deer pen one of the stags was dozing in the autumn sun
Cormorants and herons in raphaels park

On Saturday morning I headed up to Raphaels Park, where there were 3 grey herons about
Raphaels park - cormorants, mallards and a confused pair of great crested grebes
Sunday, 8. November 2009, 18:49:21
On Mondays visit to Raphaels park my aim was to get some nice photos of grey squirrels and great crested grebes. But by the time the sun had risen high enough to hit the lake, the grebes had moved off to the back of the lake and the large number of dog walkers had scared the squirrels up the trees. I did however manage a few photos of some mallards in the morning sun
Shaggy Ink Caps and a lazy squirrel

Tuesday before last, after going to Rainham Marshes, I stopped off at Hornchurch Country Park to explore the Ingrebourne Valley. Unfortunately it was as dead as Rainham, the marsh there had almost dried up. But up in a field I came across more than 50 shaggy ink cap toadstools: some just emerging
Goldcrest - britains smallest bird at Hanningfield
Friday, 6. November 2009, 20:25:04
On Monday I ended up at Hanningfield Essex Wildlife Trust nature reserve, where thanks to the dry weatehr we have had this year here in Essex, the reservoir is very low (just above 50% capicity I'm told) so the birds hides were to far from the water for any photography. But just as I was about to give hope of getting anything I noticed a little bird feeding in the hedgerow

Tame squirrels and macro fun
Thursday, 5. November 2009, 17:33:47
Yesterday I headed to Raphaels Park a bit later than sunrise in the hope I would avoid the bulk of the dog walkers, which I had some success with. I wanted to avoid the dog walkers so the grey squirrels would be more cooperative and come close, so I could try out my new 100mm pentax macro lens

Goldfinches at Rainham Marshes
Wednesday, 4. November 2009, 17:59:45
Last Tuesday I headed to Rainham Marshes on a day off. I was meant to be heading to Chelmsford to see a Red throated diver (or loon) that had turned up in the park there, but it had left on the Monday (and was sadly later found dead), so I head to Rainham marshes instead. It was a bit disappointing to be honest, as the water level was very low, with many of the better marsh frog and little grebe areas completely dry. But on the bird feeders I finally got a bogey species: the goldfinch
