Monday 9th January

Ventured out into the murk today and again the Reservoir was devoid of life, with nearly all the wildfowl on the small pool. And, just for SH the totals were as follows:

  1 Great Crested Grebe (year first)
14 Little Grebe
  1 Teal
  1 Mute Swan
12 Canada Geese
  1 Goosander
47 Pochard
91 Tufted Duck
  5 Wigeon

In addition I saw 4 Snipe and 11 Meadow Pipit. There was a Kingfisher on the river, whilst there were around a dozen Siskin in with the Goldfinch feeding on the riverside Alders.

The paddocks held 30+Redwing, c.20 Blackbird and 2 Song Thrush.
