The year ended on a high at the res; 2 immature drake Scaup on the Park Lake were new for the year and with a Long-eared Owl seen 2 days ago this took the year list to a record-breaking 179, beating last years record by one. The other long-stayers are still present;- 'Greenland' White-front and American Wigeon on the Park Lake and the drake Smew ended up there after being flushed off the Top Res by boats. The Bittern was seen again on the Top Res yesterday but the Cettis Warblers haven't been seen for two weeks now - we are starting to worry about them. The gull roost held;- GBBGull 220, LBBGull 6, Herring Gull 620.
EDDERTHORPE FLASH
A Pink-footed Goose was with the Greylags but little else of note.
