18th Jan -Cloudy, damp, dull and quite misty at times, very light E/SE, 7C-

A WeBs count day.

Water level was high at the five sites I count, which probably explains why I did not find the usual Water Rails, no doubt in nearby ditches.  

I did find a Woodcock near Magna Park Lake (thermal camera) and a Song Thrush was singing here.too.

At Soar Brook Lake a new high Cormorant count of 30.  plus a nice mix of expected waterbirds, including 8 Wigeon.

Stanford Hall held 120 Canada Geese, , c 60 Wigeon, plus Teal, Mallard and Tufted Ducks.  Also, a single Cormorant and Great Egret.
