A fishing session below Upton, and due to the type of angling that I do I also get chance to do plenty of birding. Highlight was watching 5 raven soaring and calling over a wood behind where I was fishing. The only downside to birding when fishing is that I don't have my usual gear with me but a cheap pair of Bushnell binoculars. But they're better than nothing and I daren't risk taking any quality gear along because I need to look after it better than I can when fishing.
At dusk large flocks of canada goose passed through the area (pictured above).
Three sightings of single kingfisher, a flock of 21 long tailed tit and a single cormorant in flight.
