New Years Eve

Another early start but no Otters today. The Crow and Jackdaw roost left between 7:30 and 7:45. 4 Little Egret left from their roost, in front of Kramer hide, during the same period. Approx. 21 Teal flew in to Fingers. The maximum number of Shoveller seen was 5 and a Kingfisher came to the tree to the left of the hide again.
