Sat 5th Jan
I had to pop into the park office. Afterwards, I walked down to the spit. The sun was bright but the wind was a cold south-westerly. I was rewarded with the sight of 22 Teal sitting on the sunny sides of the fingers opposite, in groups of 4-6. Both Sat & Sun, there was a lot of toing-and froing by one or more Siskin between the New Cut and the Leat area. A party of Lottis working the Long Hedge contained 14 (ringed) birds.
