Tuesday 16th February

A brief morning visit saw four Great Crested Grebe and a Great Northern Diver close offshore.  In the estuary corner, 28 Teal and four Wigeon.  Six Snipe and four Meadow Pipit flew up from Greenland Lake. A Chiffchaff momentarily stood on the ice covered path through the Butterfly Ride; a male Pheasant strutted beside the Main Pond and a Siskin with six Goldfinch noisily fed among the alders.
