17th November - Cloudy, dull and drizzle to begin, SW breeze picking up, becoming windy with strong gusts after dark (9~40mph) showers, 14C

Managed to get to the local lake during the early morning.  There was quite a SW movement of Redwing and some Fieldfare mixed in with them.  Around the lake at least three Little Grebe were 'trilling'.  Three Water Rail were calling from the reeds, the Mute Swan family is still present but there were no other duck species than Mallard present today.

14 Long-tailed Tits foraged in the hedge, with several Blue Tits and two Goldcrest were with them. In all 23 bird species were found.  Some further fungi were spotted, this warm damp weather is ideal for them.


Finally, can you see the bird in the following photo, and what is it?  Clue, it is mentioned above.
