Newmillerdam 9 January

Gusty winds early this morning, but dry.

Surprisingly no Canada geese when I arrived, although a flock of 29 flew in whilst I was on site. Small numbers of black-headed gulls first thing (39), though there were 180 by the dam wall by the time I left.

Black-headed gulls 180, coot 31, great crested grebe 2, grey heron 1, kingfisher 1, mallard 239, mute swan 9, Canada goose 29, cormorant 3, goosander 2, moorhen 1, tufted duck 38.

Others of note: pied wagtail 2, treecreeper 1, nuthatch 2, coal tit 5.
