A little bit of drizzle about with a light southerly wind; temperature above normal for late Feb.
The pochard are getting very flighty. At least 140 "whizzing" round the lake about 10.30. Meantime, the 40-60 Shoveler took no notice. 9 Tufted , all on Fingers. 22 or so GC Grebes with the two on Fingers looking as though they were going to start nest building again - this time in the reeds on "Lilypads". The swans were busy "munching" in the reeds by the Kramer hide. The crescent reed bed was busy with singing birds. The roof of the main hide has been repaired and DSD should be in this week to clad the insides. Didn't look in the Rough - will be there tomorrow putting plates on the nest boxes and erecting a few more - teapot style for Blue Tits.
