13th Jan - cloudy

cloud and mist again, very occasional brighter short spell, light SE, 6C

Willey; a check on the feed station this morning showed it to be pretty busy with the usual birds present including 6 Tree Sparrows, Yellowhammers and Chaffinch, 2 Coal Tit, 6 Collard Doves and now 3 Pheasants.  ~50 Fieldfares and 30 Redwings were flying over at various times.

Misterton; a Cormorant was fishing on the lake, first record for this site.  Surprisingly very quiet with only few passerines about.

Shawell Lagoons; a look here after lunch, however Carl had seen a Juv Glaucous Gull at the landfill during the morning but the Gulls had moved off as filling had ceased.  A small number of the commoner Gulls were present at the Lagoons and 1 Caspian Gull.  Other birds included Long-tailed Tit party and Treecreeper in the hedgerow, a single Goldfinch, a Kestrel a fly-by Red Kite and a Grey Heron searching the waters edge.
