Sunny. Showers from Late Afternoon, Cold W 5
Cortonwood appears to be stuck in a rut. And what i mean by that is, that the lake is the only area producing the highlights. Nevertheless, after yesterday`s warm conditions the majority of the water is now ice-free and as a result, it pulled in a couple of other species (nothing for the year list, though) ;
Grey Heron 1, Mute Swan 2, Shoveler 4, Pochard 1, Tufted Duck 8, Goosander 7 (6 drk).
No sign of the colour-ringed Coot. But having said that, all the birds were on the water. Will have to take a bag of bread & seed tomorrow and see if i can tempt them onto dry land. That way i might be able to read some of the digits on its alloy ring and then Kane could possibly piece together the individual`s identity.
I think you did pretty well today.

Good luck with the bread and seeds, I hope you manage to see it properly.
ReplyDeleteNot a bad list of ducks Dean, any of those would be great for me :-)
ReplyDeleteNellie : Thank you.
ReplyDeleteToffeeapple : Thank you. But the task was like knitting fog ;-)
Alan : Cheers. Had an extra one today, with Gadwall.
5 out of 6 of the birds seen on the lake would be year ticks for me Dean :-)
ReplyDeleteWarren : I had a incline you`d say that ;-)
