Beckton Latest - October




A good visit last weekend, it looks like the Common Buzzards on the Sewage Works have bred with 3 birds seen together interacting, I would say the 3rd bird was a juvenile. All 3 were given a torrid time by the local Crows and Magpies as you can see from the photos.

In amongst the Crows also, I came across a Rook, common in rural areas but a bit of a mega for the Sewage Works. It bought the year list up to 98, I try to make 100 every year, I have surpassed last years total of 95 so hopefully achievable this year.

The first returning Redshank was also seen last weekend,winter is on its way, no Black Tailed Godwits as yet.













Pied and Grey Wagtail numbers have gone through the roof on the Sewage Works with a count of 24 Greys recently, Pied’s are easily 40+.
