November 27th (Brookland lake)

While I was watching the Slavonian Grebe this morning I noticed a red head GOOSANDER go down on the far side of the lake.I walked around for a closer look but when I arrived it was no where to be seen.Mind you the steam cloud from the paper mill hanging over parts of the lake didn`t help in trying to relocate it.I did go back later during the afternoon to try and find it but I think it must have flown.

Also on the lake were (36) Tufted Duck (16) Shoveler (22) Pochard and (4) Gadwall.A small Siskin flock was feeding in the Alders along the northern bank.

The Goldeneye was seen on the Trout lake at Leybourne.
