Edderthorpe - more of the same

The Flash was still a complete ice sheet first thing but at 08.45 the river began emptying over the spillway and into the Flash for the sixth time in the last nine months! This started breaking up the thinning ice and helped with the wind the ice was disappearing quickly. Most wildfowl were on the river or adjacent fields - a Pink-footed Goose was in with the Greylag flock and a drake Pintail was amongst the Mallard and Wigeon. A couple of Buzzards circled late morning.
