Early mist cleared by drizzle and light winds by 10.00. Heavier rain started 1.00pm.
Anglers CP: Female Long-tailed Duck and drake American Wigeon.
We don't get many waders dropping in here so drama of the day was when a Dunlin flew around the lake before landing on the islands in front of the hide. As it flew between islands a sparrowhawk swooped in. The Dunlin dropped into the water but the sparrowhawk persisted and carried it off to have as an early lunch.
Wintersett Res: A flock of c60 Chaffinch feeding on the north bank also contained a Brambling. All 3 Egyptian Geese were in the same field. Male and juv. male Scaup still here. Female Scaup on Botany. Goosander 5 + 10 ACP and Water Rail 1 + 1ACP.
