Empty local fields again on the way down apart from a few Crows and Maggot Pies.
I had a crack at the Brackens Lane Little Owl and after a couple of false starts picked it up hiding in a Hawthorn Bush. A Herring Gull, couple Blackbird & loads of House Sparrers hereabouts.
I scoured the Cooper Lane beck fields for the Little Egret and came up with nothing. In a similar vein the Tesco car park was devoid of birders both on the way down and back so the Waxwings must have departed.
A single female Goosander was on Harold Park Lake along with a bunch of Tufted Duck. Also present 3 Mute Swan, a mix of gulls and the usual villains. Singing birds were Mistle & Song Thrush.
Park Dam: 3 Goosander, pr Mute Swan, 1 Cormorant ditto noisy Grey Heron. Pr Greylag, more Tufted Duck. A pr GC Grebe were doing the boogie woogie. More Blackbirds, gulls etc.
