WeirWood after a few quiet days here, todays arrival was pre-dawn. First bird was a Tawny Owl on the fence of the trapping area which gave prolonged views before it departed into the woods. It was a lovely clear but frosty morning. From the c/pk 15 Pochard, 8 Teal and 5 Wigeon. On the feeders Marsh and Coal Tits as usual. A Little Egret was still present as was a Kingfisher. At Whillett’s a Water Rail was heard and 5 Reed Buntings were present. Back at the c/pk 2 Fieldfares flew in, then from here I visited the dam. Here plenty of Black-headed Gulls, 250+, were joined by 4 Common and 6 Herring Gulls. 46 Great-crested Grebes were present this end and a Little Grebe here too. On the dam a Grey Wagtail with 14 Meadow Pipits and a male Linnet which was a little out of place. In the c/pk 2 Goldcrests plus a Coal Tit with a small tit flock and below the dam 4 Redwings and a Fieldfare noted.
