Bright and mild (09:00 - 12:00)
The male Scaup still being present on the Streamside lake was a great kick start to 2022.As for Goosander,another bird was seen on Abbey Mead,At the same time I was watching the Streamside bird.
My total for the morning was 42.It was nice to finally catch up with Redpoll.I saw 3 birds feeding in the Allders along the northern end of Brookland lake.Where I also saw singles of Blackcap (male) and Chiffchaff.A Kingfisher,2 Grey Wagtails and more chiffchaffs 2,were seen along the Mill Stream.
I heard reports of 3 Siskins and singles of Linnet and Redwing being seen by others.
From the Bucket Wood,a Common Seal was seen eating a large Mullet.
Happy New Year Alan. Better late than never 😁. Looks like you got off to a good start, with some excellent birds especially the Scaup. I understand today that it is on Lakeside. Is there a map of the lakes that can be downloaded with their names?
