THE THEORY OF NOTHING MUCH ABOUT.

Last thursday I went to see THE THEORY OF EVERYTHING at Dovers Silver Screen Cinema,brilliant film I reccomend it to the house.I walked into town following the river the usual birds were seen including kingfisher,firecrest,goldcrest,grey heron,grey wagtail,little egret,little grebe,with gadwall and tufted duck in Bushy Ruff,and a water rail near Crabble Corn Mill.Redwings and song thrush in the Abbey and Mistle thrush on the rugby pitches-so as you can tell theres not much about really.This lunar halo appeared in the night sky last week the small object at 8 o`clock is Jupiter.

FEMALE KINGFISHER NEAR THE CORN MILL.
This afternoon went to Dungeness and finally managed to pick out the Whooper Swan in the herd-the one cocking his leg-the yellow on the bill is more pointed and extends forward whereas the Bewicks is cut off more square.

WILD SWANS
The ARC pit had 6 goldeneye 4 ducks and 2 drakes I think the water is too shallow for them to dive any closer to the hide.

DRAKE GOLDENEYE
A treat was in store though as a pair of great crested grebes did this

BRILLIANT 10 OUT OF 10- BETTER THAN STRICTLY.

GOODNIGHT FOLKS.
