The recent adult Great Black-backed Gull was there again on 21st and 22nd though I failed to relocate it after 11:20 yesterday when all the gulls were put up off the embankment and the water with many moving off. Just a single Cormorant on the water but still no sign there of any Goldeneye this winter. It was formerly a regular wintering spot for them !
Little else in the very wet woodland other than 3 Goldcrests feeding close together in the pine trees.
Brief check at Cromwell Bottom ski-lake this morning. The 2 Scaup are still there, looking good, as are 12 Tufted Duck and 7 Goldeneye (including 4 drakes).
A small flock of Siskin were also reported c150 yds down from Cromwell Lock (GS).
Song Thrush singing at Midgehole, near Hardcastle Crags (NG) and another at Cromwell Bottom this morning.
