Friday 7th

Midday stroll around Fingers. 10 Herons sheltering from the wind in various places around this lake. 8 Dabchicks attended by 4 Moorhen (two groups), 3 Teal, 5 Shoveler (& another dozen on main lake), no sign of the Gadwall. Many Blackbirds (immigrants?) around the northern edges and a pair of Bullfinch. Goldfinch seemed lower in numbers, unless they were feeding elsewhere. Main lake had 4 Pochard and 4 Goosander; GCG numbers dropping (no count). Checked the Black-headeds feeding groups for Med. but no joy.
