Having spent the morning searching and ultimately failing to find any Smew at Lee Valley yesterday, Brian tried again this morning and this time got lucky when he found the redhead in the same corner we searched extensively yesterday! On receiving news from Brian that the male Smew was also in the same area we were soon on our way. Thankfully both birds were still present and showing well when we arrived.

While we were sitting outside the discovery centre hoping the flock of Siskin would put in an appearance a Kingfisher flew along the river and landed among the riverside branches opposite us.
Embarrassingly I had not seen a Jay in any of my trips out this year, but thankfully that ended when one was found on the way back to the car today.
