Camps Heath Marshes

The weather was not looking good and the likelihood of a storm was real. Despite this my son Jonathan and I set out for a walk over railway line and then along the river.This would involve a rather none engaged meeting with a bull, disappointed no.
SEDGE WARBLERS calling from the side of the car as we parked at the railways line. Followed by a HOBBY over the the marsh.This bird was catching the wind and flying off south. EGYPTION GEESE beside the dyke and by the river the first of four REED BUNTINGS. GREENFINCHES along river with the occasional BLUE TIT calling. A young CROW was interested in us as we walked by his little hide away in a half dead willow.We also came across what I assumed was pair of CUCKOO. One flew of into reed, so I assume ws looking for a nest for purpose. The other eventhually flew of and both setof east. I also picked up with four STOCKDOVE and only one SKYLARK. A pair of REDSHANK flew low over marsh. CHAFFINCH and CHIFCHAFF calling around the village of Camps Heath.
Also several COMMON BLUE DAMSELFLIES
