November in London's wetlands is a spectacle of wings. Reservoirs swell with mallard, tufted duck, pochard, wigeon and clouds of teal at Rainham, while gadwall and shoveller favour Walthamstow. Scan a little longer for shelduck, goldeneye, pintail or smew, and the odd rarity like eider, garganey, ferruginous duck, or a red-breasted merganser. Grebe fans can admire sleek Great Crested birds and hope for shy little grebes, or even Red-necked, Black-necked and Slavonian visitors. Geese parade through Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens, with Egyptian geese popping up on city ponds. Down the estuary, watch for Brent or Barnacle geese, flocks of lapwing, golden plover, redshank and dunlin, plus elegant egrets. Catch a wisp of snipe lifting in zigzags, or a distant arctic skua over gray waves. Return on 05-Nov for the full story!
