A late morning/early afternoon wander round Verulamium Park, St Albans. The 1st Winter Med Gull still about (on the boating lake), but no sign of the YBW while I was there #hertsbirds #hertsbirding #londonbird #ukbirds #ukwildlife #birds #birding

This year 50 on patch (=walks from Harpenden home) before noon on 4/1. Record total was last year (94) so over halfway there! Mind you last year I found Turtle Dove, Black Redstart, Corn Bunting & Oystercatcher so this won’t be easy. Time somebody built a reservoir nearby.

Today’s excitement (and new for the 2024 “walk” list): 3 Grey Partridges. Typically one record a year locally, ideally not as late as mid-November. #hertsbirding #ukbirding

Stonechat - at third site near Harpenden in ten days and almost certainly all different birds. How many do you need to collect to swap for a YBW? #ukbirding #hertsbirding

Did the shortened version today (“only” 16k steps) and got wet rather than drenched. Nice male Stonechat, Pochard, 6 Teal and Green Woodpecker. A good day by KG pit standards. #ukbirding #hertsbirding

Good news - mixed goose flock at East Hyde! Less good news: 480 Canadas so far (way higher than previous max), 3 Greylag and 3 Egyptian. Oh well. #ukbirding #hertsbirding
