The Angler's Pool
And STILL the thaw is incomplete. And still there are no wildfowl anywhere except
Millbrook Pool where today were;
50 Teal, 8 Gadwall and 8 Mallard. No sign of yesterday's
Woodcock, but a
Great Spotted Woodpecker bounded over calling. And that, was pretty much it for the pools... all iced over and hung with fog or maybe mist. I'm never too sure of the difference. Fog sounds like a grubby dirty thick nasty grey murky thing whereas mist sounds a little more atmospheric. SO, I'm going for mist coz it was all very atmospheric...
Eastern Reedbed
Millbrook Pool
Pumphouse Pool
The only other place with birds today was the
Feeding Station. Hooching so it was with dozens of
Blue Tits, Great Tits, Chaffinches and
Reed Buntings hungry for the scraps on offer.
No
Nuthatch or woodpeckers again though. Never saw a single
Robin, Blackbird or
Wren either. No
Moorhen. No
Long-tailed Tits.
4 Grey Squirrels.
1 Willow Tit. I have an inkling this cold snap has hit the Moore residents pretty hard. I guess time will tell...
