Last Thursday I had a walk round the local parks, starting in Raphaels Park. It started well with a song thrush calling from the top of a tree

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

On friday I had the day off work and went on a mini tour of some local sites. After a quick no eventful visit to Ingrebourne Valley, I headed to Rainham RSPB reserve. No sooner had I got out the car a large sparrowhawk wizzed by with something in its talons - no photo Im afaid.

Here is there rest of my report from Monday. This a very photo heavy post, so give your browser a chance! After leaving the chase I crossed the road and entered Harrow Lodge Park. Heading towards the lake I saw a Jay and a greater spotted woodpecker on the same tree with a green woodpecker below!

Yesterday morning I got up early in a feeble attempt to beat the dog walkers (I think there was more than usual), but the wildlife and I managed to squeeze into the brief gaps between the dogs! lol. In fact I think most my photo oppertunities were ended by a dog scaring them wildlife off! Still it was productive morning. The grey squirrels were obviously having a lie in, so the first thing I encounter in Raphaels Park was this lovely great crested grebe

Here is the second part. First up are the photos I took with my trusty Panasonic fz7. A juvenile little grebe posed in front of us while I was trying to digiscope, so I whipped out my camera and got these
