Saturday 24th November

A number of Fieldfare over in flocks of 4,8,16,18,26(27EN) and 54(61EN). A single Little Egret in the South West corner moved to the south east corner before heading off towards Cardington. 13 Shoveller on the main lake with 2 on Fingers although 1 of those flew in and may have come from the 13. Only managed a count of 36 Great Crested Grebe on the main lake although they were wide spread and mobile making it difficult. Cormorant numbered 33. 2 male Tufted ducks also on the main lake.

On Fingers there were 11 Gadwall, 3 Teal and 7 Little Grebe. Also a Treecreeper on a Willow at the edge of the Rough.

A Kingfisher flew from the Willow on the edge of the main lake by the steps. Another was calling near the main lake hide and another in the South West corner.

Also a Greylag over and a LBB Gull on the main lake.
