Low Moor Dams

A perishing N'ly blow cut through me and my ambition at Park Dam after the relatively milder Harold Park lake thanks to the trees.


The Park lake was throbbing with gulls. Plenty of BHG & Herring but just a few LBBs.




Just a single drake Tufted Duck stood out. A solitary Cormorant, 5 Greylag and several Canadas plus the Coots & Moorhens.


Park Dam had 4 Goosander, pr Greylag, pr GC Grebe ditto Mute Swan.
A surprise in the hedgerow as I was departing: a Long-tailed Tit flew along it and stopped twice albeit briefly. It appeared to have an all white head indicative of the northern race methinks.
