A dull, overcast morning was made better by an, at times spectacular, passage of Fieldfares. Mostly flyovers, with some birds dropping in, so difficult to get an accurate count but I stopped counting mid-morning at 2,600 when it appeared flocks were by then mainly grounded birds, rather those going straight through. Mixed in with them were around 350 Redwings and a single Ring Ouzel that flew towards No. 3 lagoon.
58 Golden Plover circled the lagoon
a couple of times at about 8.15am before deciding to drop in and join the 176 Lapwings.
Ducks included 36 Shoveler, 5 Gadwall,
3 Pintail and 14 Goosander (1 drake) first thing.
