A couple of hours walking this pm, around the waterlogged woods, lake area, and tree nursery, was a wet affair! The lakes were full to overflowing, the woodland pools were also full, and extra water filled ditch's have appeared, might bode well for a Snipe or Sandpiper this weekend. Birdwise is was a usual scene, lots of GOLDCREST were about, and GREAT TITS seem to be very showy at the moment - thinking about the breeding season ahead. REDWING and FIELDFARE are about in various size flocks, one mixed flock of 100+ birds were busy bathing on a flooded field. The lake area had MALLARD and a GREY HERON, but interestingly I again found the LITTLE GREBE, I wonder how long it will stay. Oh for a Coot, Tufted duck, or maybe a Gadwall!!
