Very cold this morning. Not much action up by dragonfly pond. There were c.12 Redwing on the deck in W paddock near the S. kissing gate plus a couple of Song Thrush and a Mistle Thrush. W lake had 3 drake Pochard. In the willow by the boardwalk opposite the cafe, I was chuffed to see a female Reed Bunting feeding on phragmites heads. Only the second Reed Bunt I’ve recorded at Cossie this year [the 1st was a singing male in May]. They’ve become a bit of a rarity, sadly.
