12c Hazy sun, W breeze.
No sign of any migrants yet and on the whole area quiet. Definite reduction in wildfowl numbers, the two pair of Tufted Duck remain along with a pair of Teal but outside of a handful of Mallard nothing else out on the water bar half a dozen Mute Swans, all young birds, which made a change. A pair of Goosander did fly over west as I left. A Little Egret flitted about the grass area by the inlet while justa single Fieldfare was seen along the hedgeline at Back Brook.
The noticable build up is of Pied Wagtails around the hills and hollows and along the waterline, certainly a sign of things to come last year. Fingers crossed.
