Warmer but quiet

Today the wind was more or less due West, so warmer at 8.5 degrees, it was not the early morning start I had planned, but either way, no further sign of the Smew on Sandford, Lavell's or LFGP today. At LFGP the Wigeon numbers were down, less than 150 BH Gulls, 4 Goldeneye flew in from DP, a pipit, probably Meadow flew over the landfill, c50 Fieldfare far side too, 2 Redwing in the hedgerow, Goldcrest too, a singing Siskin outside the hide. Other than 2 Lapwing no other waders.

At Lavell's a singing Lesser Redpoll above the feeders, 2 visible Snipe, 18 Teal asleep, but lovely, as I left a Little Egret was feeding in the Emm Brook.
