Friday 20th January

Light to Moderate Rain (all day), NW 1>2

Nearly didn`t bother with Cortonwood, what with the weather. But bother i did and was rewarded with my first Gadwall of the year ;



Apart from the above, it was a case of the usual highlights ;
Grey Heron 1, Shoveler 1 (drk), Pochard 1, Tufted Duck 8, Goosander 4 (2 drk).

It was good to see the colour-ringed Coot was still present and despite getting it to come to bread & seed, it just wouldn`t stay still long enough to allow me to read the alloy ring. Now if it had performed like these two, i might have had a chance ;





Talking of chance`s. I`ve not heard from that job i applied for, on Monday. And with it being taken off the listings, it looks like i`m not going to........now.
