Big Waters
The highlight today was a Green-winged Teal which was with a group of Teal in the North West corner of the pond. A female Scaup was in front of the smaller hide to the right, presumably the same bird I’d recorded at this site in January. On the feeders, I was pleased to see a visiting Siskin, feeding with the familiar Tree Sparrows and Blue and Great Tits. A Willow Tit also put in a brief appearance at times.
Holywell
In a field close to Holywell Pond, there were a group of 22 Greylag’s, accompanied by a single White-fronted Goose.
In a field between St Mary’s and Holywell, there were over 200 Pink-foots. There was no sign of any Bean Geese, however Bean has been recorded in this area, this year.
