A couple of the Pink-footed Goose that accompanied the Greylag Goose flock at the end of December into early January; often over-looked with all the focus on the diver!

3 Goosander on the lake about 07:30 today - 1 male & 2 female. Oystercatchers in front of the Sailing Club, a solitary Kingfisher very active on the west side. Not a bad place to stop for half an hour on the way to work.

Female Goldeneye close to the duck feeding station this morning. About 6 Bulfinches in the wooded area on the south east side.

Possible Osprey Saturday morning 24/8/19. Flew over in north westerly direction. Very poor photo on my facebook page appears to show a tracking antenna and the bird is carrying a fish. Unfortunately, I had just taken my 600mm lens off that morning!!

Would agree with your interpretation of the photo - also the white on the head

Not a rare bird but saw a Red Kite (first time in this location) by the lake this afternoon. Flying over Stitch Meadow, scared off the magpies, crows and pigeons.

Great white egret over Ipsley pool going east, 1.10 pm

Not quite Arrow Valley but 4 x Little Egrets in horses field this morning. It’s the field by the fishing pond on the way from the lake to Forge Mill Meadows. There are large conker trees on the edge of the river and bridges where people feed the ducks. The field is on the path to the houses in Ridings Lane
