10 am.
Freeman’s Pool were quiet, the large
stretch of water almost frozen over. Slurry spreading on maize stubble brought
a number of gulls onto the scene, mainly black-headed. Wildfowlers’ Pool was
less iced over and here were 6 Snipe, Redshank, Coot, Moorhen, Teal and
Lapwing. Lapwing were a key feature today for me, they were in almost every
field I scanned. The Flood saw 40 Dunlin, 7 Shelduck, Redshank, Lapwing, Half a
dozen or so Robin and Pied Wagtail. On the marsh the geese were difficult to
see as many were on the river. In the field near walled meadow Golden plover were
mixed in with some Lapwing, and a solitary Fieldfare. Little Egret 3 on marsh and a
handful of Goldeneye on the river. A Peregrine was eyeing things up from
the pylons along with raven.
