Back at ‘Cossie’ over the last couple of days, there have been up to 7 Pochard on W lake plus around 30 Teal, ususally skulking around the edges, also 5 Gadwall and the usual Tufted Ducks, 2 Great Crested and 2 Little Grebes and small numbers of Redwing and Fieldfare. Also since boxing day, Hawfinch have been seen again in the same area that they have appeared for the last 2 winters, in trees on the N edge of Cogan Wood, about 50m beyond the Dragonfly Pond. I haven’t seen them myself although I did check this morning but it was very windy so not ideal.
