West End: – WeirWood early morning onwards was worth the visit with the 4 Little Egrets leaving the heronry at 7:55. A single Wigeon and 2 of Gadwall and Tufted Duck were still around in chilly conditions. Marsh Tit was on the feeders. Best birds so far today were 34 Brent Geese over the west end headed north east at 8:05. A lovely sight and sound. 4 Mandarins were noted today plus a Kingfisher. A male Sparrowhawk upset the busy feeders with its presence briefly.
Dam End:- The dam was still quiet generally. On the grassy slope 3 Mistle Thrushes and 2 Jays.
