Friday 24th December

Went over early today with just a small area of water still ice free, there were few duck with 20 Shoveler, 10 Pochard, 4 Gadwall, 10 Wigeon and c.80 Mallard. Yesterdays Skylark could not be located but there was a small group of Redpoll in the plantation near to the house in the south-east corner.

At Coton late afternoon I saw a Bittern, 2 Smew and a Curlew.

The garden produced my first Brambling of the winter as well as around six Tree Sparrows.
