be a Pink Footed Goose on far shore.
0700 hrs and a very icy Fly Flatts at -1 deg with the road, track and puddles well froze.
A clear blue sky and sunshine with only 20 % cloud cover and a light NE>4.
Very little in the air other than a few BH gulls but the moor alive with the sound of Red Grouse enjoying the sunshine.
Unusual to find a grounded Redwing in the NW corner skulking about in the long grass with first sighting of just a thrush type with eye stripe before it disappeared had my imagination running wild with thoughts of Siberian Thrush but then it re appeared and dashed my hopes.
6 Stonechat were present with 4 down the bottom end an 2 up by the top gate whilst the light bellied wildfowl I got in the near dark last night turned out to be a single Pink Footed Goose across on the east bank in the grass. A first for me here with a Pinkie on the deck.
Several Mallards flew in mid watch which must have left this location to another roost from last night.
