Tuesday 4th

Early start. Forecast not good. Put net up by feeders. The ringed female GSW was a "casualty"; released her and she was back round the other side on a feeder before 10 minutes was up. 2 new Chaffinches (fem) & 5 new Great Tits (just the one male). 3 birds from October '05 and the pullus from '03 once more. Packed up 09:30.
Watched a well marked male Lesser Redpoll on some dessicated willow-herb by the V/centre for a long while - until the school kids came out for their "walk". 16 Cormorant, 80 B/H Gulls & 1 Lesser BBG on the sailing club. 10 Pochard visible. A bit early for the Common Gulls.
