Must have just missed you Dave, we also popped down to Lakeside to see the Phalarope, beautiful views in a very well managed setting. What a place to have on your doorstep.

Some of the best counts where 300+ Starling, 100+ Ring Necked Parakeet in the roost,60+ Lapwing, 32 Teal, 27 Shoveler,13 Goosander and 11 Wigeon.
