Overcast and damp,quite mild (0900-1030).

Two stunning drake Goosander were present for a while on Abbey Mead.I watched them for about thirty minutes before they flew off NE.
Over the past week many of the wintering wildfowl,including Coots have moved out of the area.

Our garden Blackcap also appears to have moved on,we last saw it on the 5th.
