<div><p>August is a month where the emphasis here is on migration. Birds which are only here for the breeding season are starting to depart, and birds which just spend the winter here are starting to arrive. Any real highlights in August are usually from passage migrants, birds which breed somewhere north of here, either in the northern UK or beyond, as they make their way back to their winter territories which could be in southern Europe or Africa. </p></div>
45+
</div>
46+
</div>
47+
<div> <div itemprop="articleBody">
48+
<div><p>The best bird of August this year was a species which is difficult to put into any of the usual summer/winter/migrant categories because it is one of the most widely distributed bird species in the world. A <strong>cattle egret</strong> which flew over in a south-westerly direction on the morning of the 25<sup>th</sup> was only the second record of the species here. Cattle egrets are increasing in numbers in the UK, and there were around twenty in the London area for a period this summer. It is likely that this bird had been roosting with the herons and egrets on one of the islands at Walthamstow Wetlands.</p></div>
49+
</div>
50+
51+
<div>
52+
<div><div><p>There are two candidates for the most common passage migrant here. <strong>Willow warbler (above)</strong> are as regular as clockwork in autumn, with the first bird being seen within a couple of days either side of August 1<sup>st</sup> every year. This year the first was on the 2<sup>nd</sup>, and multiple birds were present most days for the rest of the month. <strong>Common sandpiper</strong> are also a regular feature of autumn, they are never present in the same number as the willow warbler peak count, but they pass through for a longer period, and this year we did have two together on the 13<sup>th</sup>. If the water level is low enough to provide some dry mud then they will happily stay for a few days on passage, but when the water level is higher like this year, they tend to be seen briefly on one of the tern rafts or on posts around the lagoons<strong>. Lesser whitethroat</strong> was another notable passage migrant this August, being seen on the 9<sup>th</sup> in the hedge south of the boardwalk, a regular hotspot for migrant warblers.</p>
53+
<p><strong>Kingfishers</strong> are not usually seen here in the breeding season but we generally get more sightings in August as a result of post-breeding dispersal. This was the situation again this year, with a bird being seen regularly through the month. A similar situation occurred with <strong>green woodpecker</strong>. <strong>Jackdaws</strong> are uncommon here outside the month of October when large numbers can sometimes be seen migrating, but this year on August 3<sup>rd</sup> a bird actually landed in a tree behind the café briefly before flying off.</p>
54+
</div></div>
55+
</div>
56+
57+
<div>
58+
<div><div><p>Three members of the hirundine family of birds breed in London and are usually seen here at this time of year. This year <strong>house martin (above) </strong>were by by far the most common with a flock of around thirty birds being seen regularly through the month. On a few occasions, there were small numbers of <strong>sand martins</strong> amongst them, and a<strong> swallow</strong> was seen on the 9<sup>th</sup>. On the 22<sup>nd</sup> the hirundine flock attracted the attention of a <strong>hobby</strong>, a small raptor which is known for eating dragonflies but in urban areas largely feeds on hirundines.</p>
59+
<p><strong>Egyptian geese</strong> are notoriously bad parents and will sometimes have two or three broods in a year without any young surviving. A pair which nested this year in nearby Clissold Park are completely the opposite of this and have learned that by keeping their young on an island they are safe from foxes and dogs. For the latter half of August this family of two adults and six fully-grown goslings have been roosting here on one of the tern rafts. They fly out early in the morning.</p>
60+
</div></div>
61+
</div>
62+
63+
<div>
64+
<div><p>The total number of bird species seen here in August 2024 was 62, one lower than last August although we have reached 70 a few times in recent years.</p></div>

<div><p>October here is an unpredictable month. Birds are returning southwards from their breeding grounds which might be in northern Britain, Scandinavia, or Iceland. Whether they pass over us unseen at a great height, or stop here for a few hours or days can be down to the weather they encounter on their journey. This year, conditions must have been favourable for us and we had another bumper month.</p></div>
52+
</div>
53+
</div>
54+
<div> <div itemprop="articleBody">
55+
<div><p>The first highlight of the month came on the 4th when a migrating <strong>tree pipit</strong> stopped off for a few minutes at the top of a tree along the woodland trail. This species is sometimes picked up by expert birders passing over based on its flight call, but this is the first time for over five years one has been seen perched here.</p></div>
56+
</div>
57+
58+
<div>
59+
<div><p>We usually get one or two records of <strong>stonechat</strong> here each year, most often in early spring or late autumn. We were lucky enough to get two birds this October, firstly a female <strong>(above)</strong> on the 10<sup>th</sup> and then a male <strong>(below)</strong> on the 18<sup>th</sup>. Typically for the species, the birds were here for most of the day but gone by the following morning.</p></div>
60+
</div>
61+
62+
<div>
63+
<div><div><p>The 18<sup>th</sup> was one of several foggy mornings through the month and the male stonechat wasn’t the only surprise that day. Visibility was very poor early in the morning but once the fog lifted, a pair of <strong>mandarin ducks</strong> were revealed in the middle of the reservoir. This species is scarce here, with several years usually passing between visits, and they are usually only short-stayers. The pair soon departed once visibility improved.</p>
64+
<p>The 19<sup>th</sup> was another fairly murky morning, with another big surprise. A <strong>cattle egret (below)</strong> was seen flying around over the lagoons and New River, seemingly looking to land, but was soon spotted by the local black-headed gulls. After a bit of chasing, the egret departed to the northeast. This was only the third record of this species here, with all three having been in the last two years. This reflects the national status of the species, which is on a steep upward curve and they have even been breeding in the UK for a few years now.</p>
65+
</div></div>
66+
</div>
67+
68+
<div>
69+
<div><p>A lot of gulls arrive in the UK in October and we often get some of the more unusual species here. <strong>Great black-backed gulls</strong> have been very thin on the ground this year but we had a first-winter bird on the 1<sup>st</sup>. An adult <strong>yellow-legged gull (below) </strong>was seen several times towards the end of the month.</p></div>
70+
</div>
71+
72+
<div>
73+
<div><div><p><strong>Meadow pipits</strong> were seen and heard passing over occasionally through the month, with <strong>jackdaws</strong> being slightly more numerous with small flocks passing over a handful of times. <strong>Redwing</strong> passage started on the 12<sup>th</sup> and they were then seen and heard most days for the rest of the month, with the biggest flock being around thirty birds.</p>
74+
<p>The total number of bird species seen here in October 2024 was 64, the highest total since the 68 species of October 2020.</p>

<div><p>September often turns out to be the best birding month of the year here. Although we say goodbye to many of our breeding birds, winter birds are returning throughout the month, and passage migrants are always likely to appear either as flyovers or as birds stopping off to feed. </p></div>
45+
</div>
46+
</div>
47+
<div> <div itemprop="articleBody">
48+
<div><p>The month got off to a spectacular start when two <strong>great white egrets</strong> flew over on the 1<sup>st</sup>. This species was rare in London around ten years ago but in recent years we have tended to get one or two sightings here every year. The following day saw a visit from four <strong>common sandpipers</strong>. This species is one of our most common passage migrants but a count of four is unusual.</p></div>
49+
</div>
50+
51+
<div>
52+
<div><div><p>We didn’t have to wait long for another highlight, when on the 4<sup>th</sup> the first <strong>spotted flycatcher (above)</strong> of the year was found in a tree along the New River. A few days later two birds would be seen together in an Oak along the woodland trail. On the same day as the first spotted flycatcher, we had another rare sighting, when a flock of twelve <strong>sandwich terns</strong> was seen passing-by southbound to the east of the site. The flock had been seen a few minutes earlier at Walthamstow.</p>
53+
<p>The next rarity was on the 11<sup>th</sup> when a female <strong>pintail (below) </strong> was found on the open water near the water outlet.  Whilst this species is known to overwinter in the London area, they aren’t often found far away from the Thames. This was the first record here of this elegant duck.</p>
54+
</div></div>
55+
</div>
56+
57+
<div>
58+
<div><p>The flock of around thirty <strong>house martins (below)</strong> which had been seen through August were still frequently seen in September, witht the flock being boosted to around seventy on the 27<sup>th</sup>, with two <strong>swallows</strong> being amongst them.</p></div>
59+
</div>
60+
61+
<div>
62+
<div><div><p><strong>Meadow pipit</strong> is a species which is expected to be heard flying over in autumn and our first of the year was on the 14<sup>th</sup>, with a few more in the remainder of the month. The first <strong>water rail</strong> of the winter was heard in the reed-bed on the 16<sup>th</sup> and seen a few days later near the water outlet. This was also the location of the first <strong>snipe</strong> of the winter, which was seen on the 19<sup>th</sup>. The latter two species will be here until next spring now, although both can be difficult to see. Other returning winter birds were two <strong>teal</strong> on the 21<sup>st</sup> and the first <strong>common gull</strong> of winter on the 28<sup>th</sup>, around a week earlier than usual.</p>
63+
<p>The total number of bird species seen here in September 2024 was 63, two higher than last September although still a few below the recent historical average for the month.</p>
