After my visit to Benson I popped down along the river at Cholsey Marsh. The river is slowly rising with all this rain and the Thames path is manageable but getting worse.
A good flock of Geese near the 4 Arches with Canada Goose, Greylag Goose and a couple of Egyptian Geese present.
1 probably 2 Great Crested Grebe near the islands.
A Cetti’s Warbler seen on the marsh and several Reed Bunting.
At least 2 Water Rail heard and 2 Jay flew across the river and several Redwing and Fieldfare present.
2 Cormorant flew down stream and a single Mute Swan near Bow Bridge.
Geese on a choppy river
Loren has been making some "energy balls" for the birds recently and they have been going down a treat. The following is a photo of one of the Nuthatches enjoying one.
Not sure you will get down there after the rain last night
