A random collection with a thrushy bias, from a chilly saunter round Cosmeston this morning. In addition to the birds in the pix, there were 4 Gadwall on W lake and a pair of Pochard with the 100 or so Tufties on E lake at the golf course end, sheltering from the cold wind. I’m pretty sure the gull is an adult Yellow-legged Gull. The photo is a huge crop as it was right in the middle of E lake. The warm grey upper parts and v clean head are pointers for me. To left is Fieldfare, top right is Mistle Thrush.
