New Years Day on the patch

Just over for four hours on the patch (Ingrebourne Valley) and I managed a good day total of 62 species, which is my best start ever over 17 years. The bird of the day was a Adult Marsh Harrier going south, which ended up being seen at Rainham RSPB. Other than that nothing out of the ordinary, although 11 Wigeon on the first day is always good. So lets hope this year is a good one and Happy New Year to you all....
