Friday morning....

Freeman’s Pool Goldeneye, gadwall, moorhen and coot. On the track a large flock of chaffinch, 120approx, very mobile. Reed bunting and linnet present and a few fieldfare and redwing in the nearby trees. Wildfowlers’ Pool 6 goldeneye, 8 little grebe, a wader, possibly lesser yellowlegs but when I got round on the embankment side I couldn’t find the thing, a birder said he had seen it today and that it had been reported yesterday. On the marsh were half a dozen little egrets. Steve
