Even with good overnight temperatures of 4 degrees and daytime at around 10 degrees the lake is still frozen over . On the ice were around 200+ B H Gull's, Lapwing down from yesterday with 104 x counted. Common Snipe numbers up slightly with 15 noted and a single G C Grebe and 2 x Wigeon in one very small patch of open water. 10 x Teal around the edge of the reedbed along with a single Grey Heron and Cormorant. Other birds noted Lesser Redpoll x 3 , Siskin x 9 , Goldfinch x 8 , Nuthatch x 3 , Coal Tit x 11 , G S Woodpecker drumming. Down the south end good numbers of Redwing with 60 + and around 40+ Fieldfare. A single Little Egret on Heron Marsh along with Buzzard and 4 x Mistle Thrush.
Request.
If any visiting birders get a positive ID on any Willow Tits could they please let myself or a Ranger or county recorder Nick Pom no. Thank you Steve.
