Of note this morning were 2 adult Common Gulls on W lake, 1 on the far side and another on the posts, c.40 Redwing and c.20 Fieldfare feeding in W paddock, a pair of breeding plumage Great Crested Grebes display ‘dancing’ on E lake [in the middle so too distant for photos] and a Water Rail in Sully Brook. The latter teased by foraging in amongst the vegetation and the images below are the best of many as I tried to aim the central focus point at gaps in the reeds to focus on the bird itself! Couldn’t quite manage a decent shot of the whole bird!
