Pegwell Country Park 14.9.2017

A bright start to the morning with light winds, I headed off to Restharrow Scrape just to check water levels more than anything still extremely low, no bird life at all, headed back to Pegwell where there was lots of activity.
As I pulled in the first thing I saw was a Green Woodpecker on the grass looking for worms and ants etc it had a muddy beak where it had been probing into the ground.

Plenty of Chiff Chaff, Blue Tits, Great Tits, Black Cap about until the resident Kestrel flew over, everything dived into dense cover and didn't come out for some time, ( I don't blame them)

The wind really started to pick up so I started heading back to the car, snapped a few on the way

Not a very productive morning but autumn is just around the corner and the leaves will be dropping which will make spotting easier.
