A busy day starting with an early morning bird watch- I was hoping to see an active bittern. However no such luck but I did see  redshank, greenshank, bullfinch (a real surprise for by the canal), greenfinch and chiffchaff. Later when in the garden a parakeet flew over despite them being all over London and the South East fairly rare in our part of the world. A poor picture of the chiffchaff and also one of the greenfinch.

Had a cricket net this afternoon which was good fun.

I am keeping my fingers firmly crossed for the football tonight. It is a vital game for the Mighty Hatters just hope we can get something from the game!
