Yesterday there were 2 pairs of Gadwall on E lake, but not seen today. There were also c.50 Tufties recently but now only a few remain. Wayne Strong had 3 Wigeon this morning but they weren’t showing when I was there at around 11:45, but poss skulking in the W lake reeds? A Gadwall appeared to be ‘walking in water’ in the W lake bay [actually standing on a part submerged one of the posts]. Mowing of W paddock was in progress and a few Redwing and Fieldfare were watching from trees lining ther Mile Road, presumably waiting to drop down to snaffle disturbed worms etc. In a finished area there were around 20 Pied Wagtails and a few Meadow Pipits feeding. In the already mown E paddock a Green Woodpecker was foraging. A couple of shots below of that bird – they are very wary on the ground so difficult to approach even with extreme caution. I got to within about 80m before grabbing some pix, but even these are biggish crops. This is a female [no thin red stripe in the moustache].
