Its been great to see all the Redwings during the cold weather, but most had departed this morning
As with the Redwing I only saw a handful of Snipe today, compared to the several dozens recent days, also no Jack Snipe or Woodcock today.
Peregrine yesterday over the Hay fields
Redshank at Scotney
The frozen sward at Scotney produced a few Ringed Plovers, Dunlin, Redshank, Golden Plover and a Lapwing, also a couple of Green Sandpipers in the ditches. The long-tailed Duck is still present but I couldn't find the Scaup, though wildfowl numbers were generally low. There were at least 3 Great White Egrets there.
Ice shelf at Scotney
Barn Owls at Pigwell sewage works, but no Grey Wagtail there among the many Pied Wagtails.
Russian White-fronted Geese in the field in front of my house
A from the garden year tick in the form of a Brent Goose that joined the Greylags and Whitefronts
The 2 Goosander keeping their distance on the New Diggings today, though they were the highlight of an otherwise very much under par walk around the reserve today. At dusk the Glossy Ibis flew across the ARC to roost.
