Around Walland the Bewick Swans still present but the Whoopers are elusive, best seen as dawn breaks when they leave either Burrowes, New Diggings or ARC, they appear to have no set routine. White-fronted Geese can usually be seen at Dennes Lane, behind Scotney Pits and quite often around Boulderwall/Dengemarsh, all the Tundra Bean Geese seem to have left. Tree Sparrows and Yellowhammers are relatively easy to see around the marsh. The Great Northern Diver is still on Burrowes but little else at the moment surprisingly with most of the country frozen.
The Starling Murmuration is still ongoing at the ARC with Bitterns seen there everyday.
35 Bewick Swans & 2 Mute Swans at Midley today
Greater White-fronted Geese on Walland Marsh today
Tree Sparrows on Walland Marsh today
Very poor image of a Little Stint I spotted yesterday at the back of Scotney
Chiffchaff in the garden today
Rook doing its best to empty one of my feeders in the garden
The extraordinary Lesser Whitethroat still surviving the freezing temperatures in my garden
