I started birding at Dagenham Chase in my early teens, and i started making notes from 1988 onwards which was also the year that i started out on the twitching scene.In my early patchwork days i was introduced to the late Ken Barrett with whom i shared many great times and info with, the place will never be the same without him. The best birds that i have found over the years include, Slavonian Grebe (displaying pair ),3 immature Whooper Swans(circled the site together ),Drake Ferruginous Duck on 7th-8th April 2007 ,3 Honey Buzzards,8 Red Kites,3 Osprey,1 female Red-footed Falcon on 18th May 2008, Juvenile Kittiwake, 2 Quail, Summer Plumage Water Pipit, several Ring Ouzels, Marsh Warblers ( bred ONCE only ),Cetti's Warbler, Waxwings on 26th February 2011, Bittern on 10th February 2009, and Juvenile Red-backed Shrike. My worst omission is Oystercatcher, in 2005 i missed one by 2 minutes ! I have also seen the only two official rarities recorded at Dagenham Chase, Great Snipe and Pine Bunting.My foreign birding consists of trips to ,Point Pelee Canada May 1997,Lesbos May 2000, Arizona USA May 2004,Israel March 2009, Spain May 2009 and Spainish Pyrenees July 2010. I will be birding in China in May 2013.
