Checked a couple of my smaller lakes for the monthly WeBs count. The new Bittesby country park lake only held a Mute Swan and a Canada Goose. A small flock of Linnets (c30) and Chaffinch (c15) were in the nearby northern hedge. Equally the Magna Park lake held little variety, only moorhens and Canada Geese, with the water so high I think the Water Rail have moved out to the ditches probably.
Lilbourne Meadows; afternoon.
Five Mute Swans, c350 Wigeon, 12 Gadwall, Shovelers, a drake Shelduck flew in. A flock of Lapwings flew off as I arrived.
On the adjacent arable field c100 Starlings, c 70mRedwings and one Fieldfare.
