The water was still void of wildfowl other than the Mallards which should be showing Wigeon and Teal by now with plenty of their favourite weeds exposed on the banking whilst Goldeneye are also due.
Gulls were also on a downer with just 4 LBB, 2 Herring and 25 small gulls. The west bank proved the best bet with several Chaffinch, Goldcrest and Tit species along with at least 4 Brambling and the usual 2 Jays whilst a flock of around 30 mixed Siskin and Redpoll flew above the tree canopy and dropped down into the trees at the north end. Once again I failed to get one of the very flighty Bramblings in the camera. Every time I got one in the bins it was gone by the time I'd dropped the bins and raised the camera. Otherwise just a pleasant walk in the sunshine.
Another bright sunny morning with cloud moving in after midday on a light SW starting off at 1 degree.
