1st and 2nd of February and the largish flock of Teal on W lake seems to have departed. There are currently 14 Pochard which is a reasonable count these days and the usual Tufted Ducks. Today, 2nd Feb, I couldn’t find any Gadwall today either. There are 2 pairs of Great Crested Grebes in full breeding plumage now and at least one pair have been in brief display. Little Grebe has also been whinnying occasionally. Both days there have been at least 24 Fieldfare and around 10-20 Redwing. In W paddock on 1st and in trees by the Mile Road today there were around 20 Goldfinch. An adult Common Gull was present on E lake on 1st Feb.
