I was half expecting to hear the first Chiff of the spring but no luck.There again if any had arrived it was probably a bit cold to induce them to sing.Wildfowl numbers have fallen right off now,I did`nt record any Pochard or Gadwall,although Teal are still in good numbers along the river,with at least 50 seen.On the river also were 5 Shelduck,2 Redshank and Green Sandpiper.

Birds I didn`t see were:Siskin,Redpolls,Goldcrest,Fieldfare or Redwing.I did however see a Reed Buting in the west scrub.

    Hello Alan
    I was down by the river this morning, and the tide was really low. After I found the common Sands I scanned for the Green but no luck, now I know why, you had it down there. Sounds like you had a decent day.
