Our first Rock Pipit of the Autumn

Standing beside the Thames in the Erith area (aka the 'Patch') we noticed a movement amongst the Rocks &c. just below the Sea Wall: and out popped a Rock Pipit (our first of the Autumn) viz.

who shortly afterwards, obligingly perched on a Derelict Wharf/Jetty for a 'Photo Opportunity'.

There were also six-hundred plus (600+) Black-Tailed Godwits, a handful of Dunlins, a Little Egret, a few Mallards and Moorhens, a Pied Wagtail and twenty plus (20+) Teals present. But not a single Redshank: and just two (2) Black-Headed Gulls.
