Hi Chris,

You are right we do have a "misplaced" Chat at the
Kent Ponds as they are otherwise known. It was here
last year and has returned this year. It was heard
singing this Sunday at the monthly census of the area.
Watch for Lazuli Buntings when you visit. They are
around.

PS Beware of large white birds. We were hoping to see
something Great Egret-like at the census and it turned
out to be a Domestic Goose. (Dubbed DOGO.) Great
Egret was noted earlier this year in the same complex.
