This morning there were 16 Collared Doves on the drive at home, a Green Woodpecker called from nearby too. I visited the local lake, there was about 100 Redwing, 10 Fieldfare and at least 20 Blackbirds feeding on the berries and track. Little else was about, a couple of Goldfinch feeding in the Alder tops, two Bullfinch and Long-tailed Tits, a Jay scalded nearby. On the lake a single Little Grebe and Tufted Duck were with the Mallard and Mute Swan family.
Shawell lagoons beckoned this afternoon, very few Gulls were present, maybe there had been an earlier disturbance, as they didn't come back, as they usual would do. Nine Lapwings flew by but did not settle, a single Snipe was feeding by the reeds, 20 Wigeon and a Little Grebe was on the south pool.
Some fungi were spotted near the quarry area.
