7th Jan - Foggy morning slowly partially clearing bu mid-afternoon, then misty. Still, 10C

A quick look in Lutterworth country park this morning produced a flock of ~15 Goldfinch and 6+Greenfinch.  A few Redwing and Fieldfare were also around, several Blackbirds and a couple of Song Thrush fed on the grass areas, six Moorhen were on the small pool.

I visited Shawell lagoons during the afternoon, duirng the next few weeks we should get both Iceland and Glaucous Gulls turning up here.  Alas, today very few Gulls were present during my visit. A flock of Lapwings were checking out the site before landing, about 250, eventually 150 landed, as they got lower a wader was spotted among them, a Dunlin, this did not land but flew off.

A Grey and Pied Wagtail were feeding on the shore edge, and a single Moorhen was in the reeds.  Very little else was around and the mist was forming again so I headed off.
