Water Rail: Two birds were present, one was again in the ditch in area 2 and another could be heard calling from the reed bed opposite. Several places around the London area have recorded this species in recent days.
Redwing: Three birds flew over.
Chiffchaff: Two birds were with the tit flock in area 2.

I well remember the water rail of two years ago in that channel. I hope I can get over soon to take a look.
At the moment it is a little nervous and easily startled. I hope it soon adjusts to life in London, then I might be able to get some photos.
