Took a walk along the river to inspect the damage caused by recent wind and heavy rain. Riverside vegetation greatly reduced along many stretches. Plenty of birdlife on show including a Cormorant flying strongly upstream, a Kingfisher flying downstream and pausing on overhanging vegetation, a Grey Wagtail feeding among flood-damaged vegetation, 3 male and 3 female Mallards, some flighty Redwings and Mistle Thrushes, two Pied Wagtails and a big tit flock consisting of around 8 long tails and 4 Blue Tits. The other notable sighting was of 4 Grey Squirrels (3 together).
