Cycling & Birding in London
A fresh cycle-to-work yearlist for 2022. My usual route takes me from Purfleet-on-Thames in Essex, cycling along the Thames estuary at RSPB Rainham Marshes each day to Rainham village where I catch the train in to east London, followed by a further cycle into the centre with occasional diversions through parks and past reservoirs (100 miles/week before detours). Previous highlights on the cycle to work have included Waxwing, Lesser Spotted Woodpecker, Yellow-browed Warbler, Marsh Warbler, Glossy Ibis, Spoonbill, Cattle Egret, Quail, Black-winged Stilt, Spotted Crake, Richard's Pipit, Iberian Chiffchaff and Wryneck.
