January 4th (New Hythe)

 A B N GREBE was found on the Diver`s lake (photographed at dusk) another good bird to start the New Year with. 

Good numbers of Chiffs remain along the Mill stream,along with sightings of at least two Cetti`s Warblers and two Treecreepers.

The Blackcap was photographed in my garden.Where it has been seen on and off for the past two weeks.

January 2nd (New Hythe)

Today the Yellow Warbler spent much of the time feeding in and around one of the settling tanks inside the works,only occasionally feeding in the alders.

I finally managed to get a photo of the chiffchaff,that may be a a Tristis (the more greyer bird).

Also today two Ravens were seen from Bucket wood.

On the December 31st,a nice drake Goosander was seen on Alders lake.
