A morning walk round the local lake again was interesting. 15+ Goldfinch were feeding in the tops of the Alders, with them were at least 6 Lesser Redpolls. A Sparrowhawk flew past flushing the finches from the trees and about 20 Redwings, a couple of Fieldfare were also present.
A Song Thrush was having a sporadic singing session and a Great Tit joined in, while a Wren sang from within the thick cover. Two Goldcrest were present too.
On the water were the usual Mallard ducks, four Tufted Duck had dropped in, two Little Grebes, the Mute Swan family, Moorhen and Coots. In all 25 species were seen.
