WeirWood mid morning from the dam. A rather noisy Oystercatcher on the dam was noted first of all and a Great Egret along the south bank. I’ve had worse starts here. However there was just one grebe and no gulls this end. Several Pied Wagtails and 2 Greys were on the dam. 2 Linnets on the grassy bank were males and a Wood Lark flew over SW. At 11:30 the Oystercatcher flew off NE making a right old noise. Below the dam I found 2 Chiffchaffs but nothing else of note. At the west end several Redwings and Fieldfares were going over plus a few Mandarins and a Teal but little else. The feeders were busy inc’ male Great spotted Woodpecker, Marsh Tit and Nuthatch.
