Cold and windy, so although sunny there were just a handful of dog-walkers at Watergate this morning. 10 Bullfinch and 2 Redpoll feeding on the path and a Water Rail feeding out in the open at the north end. Still only 5 Tufted Duck, normally a flock of 30+ by now.
At Lamesley the Whooper Swan was near the hide with 2 Greylag. The 3 Wigeon also still here.

Plenty of the usual suspects at Far Pasture car park with Willow Tit and Nuthatch showing well.

The pond here continues to disappoint with just a handful of Mallard and Teal, but a Chiffchaff was feeding in the tree tops.
At Shibdon the Ruff was again present and a Sparrowhawk shot through.

Is this 1 more redpoll than last year?
ReplyDeleteThe flock should start building up now.
