Murmurings

Wed 26th - wandered round Fingers and got 7 singing/calling Chiffs widely spaced. 3 of 6 Gadwall seen, also the 3 cygnets by the old dipping platform. 2 Shoveler hiding in the reeds. Lots of young Moorhens, a few not quite independent. Green W/pecker calling. Mipit over
Thur 27th - same again mid am. Missed the 170+ Redwings SW @ 8:30/8:50 but 2 seen later. 5 Herons hiding in the Fingers. This time, only one Chiff. DK also had 2 C.Terns, a Swallow & a House Martin & 9 (nine) Gadwall and a few Shoveler. I think the Kingfishers have emigrated - or lost their tongues!
Weather cold and bright with a stiff NE'ly. Park very empty by the look of it
