  • London Birding Monthly Highlights from January 2016
    London Birding Monthly Highlights The LNHS recording area is a 20 mile radius of St Paul’s Cathedral. This area encompasses a wide range of wildlife habitats and some outstanding nature reserves which result in a surprisingly high number of species of birds being recorded each year. Around 350 species of birds have been recorded since1900 and in a typical year, over 200 species are recorded. Given below are a series of monthly highlights. September 2020 ESSEX compiled by Howard Vaughan RSPB Rainham Marshes Wader passage was still slow with no one big day and just a steady trickle of Black-tailed Godwits, Curlew, Dunlin, Green Sandpipers and the Avocet flock along with a Curlew Sandpiper (9th), Knot (19th and three 29th), three Bar-tailed Godwits (19th), Turnstone (29th), Grey Plover (19th), four Ruff and Jack Snipe (27th). River watching eventually produced the goods with two Gannet and a juvenile Sabine’s Gull (27th) and a Guillemot (20th) but there were only a few terns and no skuas seen and just a single Brent Goose (21st) and an early Goldeneye (18th). A Great White Egret was seen on a couple of dates and a single Cattle Egret dropped in on the 24th while two Cranes that flew east on the 27th were a great ‘look up’ moment as they were tracked across the South-East. The immature Spoonbill remained throughout although it occasionally wandered elsewhere. The only Red Kite was on the 17th and a ringtail Hen Harrier was quartering on the 26th and 27th with a Merlin also seen on the 26th while Hobbies continued to terrorise the dragonflies.
