7th Nov - sunny spells, mod W/NW easing, 11C

Mere Lane Lake; WeBS count; included 1 each of Pochard, Tufted Duck and Shoveler, three Little Grebe.  a Reed Bunting too.

Soar Brook Lake; WeBS count; included  three Wigeon and Little grebes, a Little Egret, 15 Mallard, a Jack Snipe was flushed from a channel.

A5 Pools/DIRFT; after lunch.  A single Black-tailed Godwit was present, 20 Shovelers, Kestrel hunting. 



Shawell sandpit;  20 Shoveler, 67 Teal, five Tufted Ducks and two Egyptian Geese.  The Ravens were having a great social time, with 18 flying up and down together close by and a total of 33 counted.  I wonder what they are actually doing, possibly a pairing behaviour.


Stanford reservoir;  a few Fieldfare were flying over.  On the water ducks included three Red-crested Pochards (2 drakes and a female), eight Goldeneye, seven Shovelers, five Teals and a Little Grebe
