Willey; first thing a Cormorant and the odd Meadow Pipit flew over the village. I think the light fog/ mist must have held up Thrush movement last night as there was a noticeable increase in Filedfare and Redwings around. On the feed station the Nuthatch and Coal Tit were tucking in, plus the other regulars.
Stanford Reservoir; after lunch a visit here, first a couple of Little Egret were in the inlet area, Flying off along the river. Plenty of Fieldfare and Redwing, ~400 and 150 respectively, but there could easily have been many more as the whole group was very mobile on the bushes and fields. A couple of Lesser Redpoll, ~20 Goldfinch and ~10 Linnet were feeding on the rough area seed heads.
A few Chaffinch were feeding on the game cover near the top lake, a single Brambling was found among them.
Finally, 4 ‘redhead’ Goosanders flew in and settled on the water near the hide.
