The juvenile Great Northern Diver on Burrowes, photographed from Dennis's Hide in yesterdays appalling weather, it is still present today today along with the Slavonian Grebe and up to 6 Goldeneye.
Cattle Egrets and 4 Glossy Ibis early this morning in the Horse Paddocks, also 11 Little Egretsat the other end of the paddock. 
This mornings wander around The Desert and Trapping Area was fairly quiet, several Goldcrests showed nicely, 5 Chiffchaffs, a handful each of Siskin and Redpoll flew over, also a single Brambling, best of all was 5 Song Thrushes in the Pear Tree.

A party of 14 Brent Geese spent a short time grazing the field in front of my house before the inevitable dog walker appeared.
One of several Common Darters seen today around the Willow Trail. The trail is only just navigable with Wellingtons. In the trail a couple of Chiffchaffs were in the Tit and Crest flock, Water Rail were squealing, at least 2 Swallows flew over.
