This chopper came low over the water but never flushed the Goldies
22 Goldies spread across the muddy east shore.
Distant pic taken from South shore.
Similar weather to this morning but some large black clouds with a quick hail and sleet shower.
The NE wind had dropped slightly but still icy cold.
After all the Fieldfare dropping onto the moor briefly this morning I headed to the feeding station in the hopes of a Ring Ouzel being left behind but no such luck. Looking across to the east bank 39 Mallard were present and the Goldies were back with 22 scattered along the mud. No sign of this mornings wader.
Starlings were continuing the move from this morning with several squadrons of 15 to 20 in head down migration mode > NW whilst Black Headed and LBB gulls moved >NE, some very high. Looks like the cold spell has livened things up a bit.
