So up early and boost that year list..... ah stuff it I went for a cup of tea, bowl of cereal and toast and went back to bed.
So eventually I grabbed my camera, bins and little scope and went to Amwell. No Water Rails or Snipe showing but did get Little Egret, Goldenye and Smew it was rather pleasant out with the sun shining.
I popped into Rye Meads, it was quiet but I did see a Green Sandpiper, Kingfisher (nicely perched up but out of camera range) and I found a lone Redpoll.
I popped into Dads to move a bed back up stairs.
Some photos.

Some excellent shots there. I particularly like the (last) Robin shot. Looks as they he's saying "come and get me".
Gorgeous little birds, the tit and the robin are just so cheeky. Is that a female blackbird at the (almost) end? And apart form the swan I can't identify the water bird - any help please? I somehow can't keep water bird names in my head, perhaps because I see them so infrequently? Wasn't it good to see the sun today, made me so happy that I made bread!
Great pictures Pete. I'm really partial to the little red bird.
the first duck under the Robin is a male Teal. The other bird is a Great Crested Grebe. winter coming into summer plumage
Looks like you had some decent sun... we didn't in Dorset... Great pictures. I'm very fond of the robin.
(I’m not flipping looking)
