Green Heron in Kent


30 Oct - I drove down to Kent on the news that the first-winter Green Heron was still present on the old military canal at West Hythe - I had excellent views as it fed from branches and vegetation at 30yds range - catching several fish without difficulty. Rather a small heron with large yellowish feet to clamber around on. My second in the UK out of 6 British and Irish records. Also a late Reed Warbler seen, primaries too long for a Blyth's Reed....
Then a 4hr journey home due to the usual chaos on M25/M3 etc.
