Excellent David. It shows how quickly things change in a couple of hours as I was heading back to the car when I saw the Buzzard at 1000am.
A good count of Tufted there David, and to hear the GND calling at Scammonden was a real bonus.
Great record with the Buzzard sighting Mike, I've only seen Buzzard once at this site, I bet it was the smell of your bacon butty that attracted it!.
The Tufted count is my highest of this winter so far, yesterday there were only 18 on a small patch of ice-free water accompanied by 2 Goldeneye, 6 Great Crested Grebe, 1 Little Grebe and 7 Coot. On the plus side the views were great as they had nowhere else to feed!
