Quite a morning after hearing some Pink-footed Geese over around 09:30 unseen in the mist sounding as if heading >W. At 09:50 more were heard, this time noisy and low coming right overhead >W. Phone out and a decent video recording but failed to work out how to get it on here ! At least 450 is probably the largest count ever over this location.
Around the same time BS had skein of c50 'pinks' over Ogden >E but they were soon lost in the mist.
Later in the morning a Great Spotted Woodpecker was 'drumming' near the park lodge and a Nuthatch was also singing nearby. I was pretty suspicious what sounded just like a Chiffchaff singing, unlikely, so investigated further - it was a Great Tit. Also 16 Redwing on the park football pitch and a flock of c17 Goldfinch nearby and c16 Long-tailed Tits at one point as well as Song Thrush singing.
We don't seem to be able to escape cold rain and mist this last week or so. Maybe more of the same for the coming week.
