Two Ravens were behind the old railway track mid-morning in the trees and field, being quite vocal between themselves, I wonder if this a prospecting pair.
The water level at the local lake is still very high, so no Water Rail found in the reeds. A pair of Little Grebes were 'trilling', 3 Tufted Duck were present and only two adult Mute Swans - the juveniles having moved off.
A single Lesser Redpoll was in the Alder trees, while ~30 Goldfinch were flying around before landing to feed and only singles of both Redwing and Fieldfare were present.
On the way to the local reservoir this afternoon a little (early) Spring colour was spotted on the road verge near South Kilworth.
The reservoir was generally quite, 20+ tree Sparrows were at the feed station, along with a mixture of Tits, including a Coal Tit. There was about 60 Wigeon, 100 Tufted Duck and 9 Goldeneye. At the Beeches a Treecreeper was busy searching for food, along with a party of Long-tailed Tits.
Late afternoon a Kestrel sat atop a Ash sapling along the coal pit lane east of the village
