Pegwell Bay And Stone Lees 1.9.17

Lovely morning popped down to Pegwell Bay Country Park the first bird I saw was this  very damp looking House Sparrow with a beak full of delicious bugs.

All of these pictures and more can be found on my flikr page: 

I carried on walking through the park very quiet spotted a couple of pied wagtails but they were scared off by a dog walker before I could get a picture of them ! I walked up into Stone Lees again still very quiet a few goldies flitting about but on the whole very little activity.
On the way back just as I was about to exit Stone Lees I spotted movement in a bush off to my left, I planted my tripod and there was more movement, a bunch of Long Tailed Tits were flitting about.

 These lovely little birds were then joined by a pair of Blue Tits who then proceeded to bully the LTT's into leaving the bush !!

Then I noticed one bird had been left behind turned out to be a Chiffchaff !

The LTT's decided that the BT's weren't going to scare them off for long and returned where they carried on flitting about feeding etc.

Yet again this session was terminated by a dog walker, they really are the most inconsiderate people, she could see I was taking pictures and could easily have gone along another parallel path, but nope I walk my dog this way and that's where I am walking my dog no matter what anyone else is doing for enjoyment !
I expect she is one of those people that doesn't clear up behind her beloved four legged friend or launches the bag of doggy dodo into the bushes at the earliest opportunity !
With the bush now empty I headed off home for my 1st cup of tea of the day.
