8th Jan - Cloudy, brisk NE< 2C, the odd short sleety shower pm.

Stanford -on-Avon; afternoon.
On the monument field (several flood pools) a large mixed flock of Greylag and Canada Geese, among them was the Pink-footed Goose (seen at Stanford res on the 6th).
Also, a few Lapwing,  Great White Egret, Redwings and Fieldfares.

Stanford Reservoir; afternoon.
The water is very 'muddy' coloured following all the run-off in to the river, probably making feeding by many waterbirds difficult, which may explain the apparent reduced numbers.
6 Goosander (5 males).
