December 16th

Overnight temperature was -8 last night.

Patch MEGA this morning with a Dipper behind the Dam wall , my first on site in 14 yrs of watching the place. The Lake is completely frozen over from end to end. All birds seen from Dam around the loop to the miniature railway station. Common Snipe x 12 , Kingfisher  x 2 , Little Egret  , Grey Wagtail  , Bullfinch x 7 and good numbers of Redwing and Fieldfare.  Exceptional count of 342 x Mallard on a small piece of open water opposite the sailing club.
