Birding on Saturday with Den

Saturday morning I met up with Denis at Sevenoaks Nature Reserve for a mooch around, when we arrived there were a lot of marquees being erected for an open day fund raiser and needless to say the bird count in the 45 mins we stayed was low, the list was as follows:

Moorhen
Robin
Coot
Tufted Duck
Mute Swan
Carrion Crow
Black Headed Gull
Chiffchaff
Blue Tit
Pied Wagtail
Grey Heron
Wood Pigeon
Green Woodpecker
Great Tit
Great Crested Grebe
Mallard
Wren

From Sevenoaks we took a short drive to Bough Beech Reservoir, alas it was fairly quiet there as well, we did spot the following though:

Lapwing
Pied Wagtail
Green Woodpecker
Grey Heron (x16)
Greenshank (x3)
Greylag Geese
Cormorant
Little Egret
Great Crested Grebe
Common Tern
Moorhen
Carrion Crow
Lesser Black Backed Gull
Common Sandpiper
Green Sandpiper
Canada Geese
Tufted Duck
