SS15 wildlife watching

This blog was set up in mid-March 2020 during the emerging COVID-19 health crisis in the UK. It initially aimed to provide records of wildlife sightings and photographs from sites within walking distance of my home in the SS15 postcode area of Basildon in Essex during lockdown travel restrictions. Even though the pandemic has largely subsided, this blog continues to include my local wildlife sightings, my trips away from home plus some personal thoughts and reflections on other issues.

Record from my flat - Canada Geese

At 6:10 p.m., I heard a very noisy group of calling Canada Geese heading towards the area where I live.

A few minutes later, c.40 of these birds flew over heading in a north westerly direction. I have no idea where they were heading but it is probably safe to assume that they were from the large flock that is usually to be seen on the main lake in nearby Gloucester Park.

Here are some of my photos of the Canada Geese at Gloucester Park ....
