Yesterday I went to the London Wetland centre again with Josh. It was much better than last time and the weather was amazing. We decided not to go to the southern end as last time there weren't many photographic opportunities so we didn't bother.
We didn't actually spend much time in the hides. Instead, most of the time spent there was around the little pools and river. To start off, we found a juvenile green woodpecker in a tree yapping its head off. It was fairly easy to get close but not easy to get a picture through all the branches.
There were also a number of dragonfly and damselfly species that we found there. Including a first for me, the four-spotted chaser.
Then came the highlight of the day. The common tern. It had a favourite little pool which it returned to every five minutes to fish. Very close to the path as well. You could take wide-angles!
