An hour and a half at Forge Mill this morning.
As Dave has previously alluded too, duck numbers are very low. Hopefully just to do with the extremely mild early winter. Wigeon 30+, Pochard 5, Goosander 5, Teal 2, Shoveler 1, Gadwall 6, Mallard 6, Little Grebe 1, G C Grebe 2, Grey Heron 2, Cormorant 4, Snipe 5, Lapwing 39, Herring Gull 1, L BB Gull 2, BH Gull 125+, Grey Wagtail 1, Pied Wagtail 1, several flocks of Redwing, 1 Song Thrush, Kingfisher 1, Siskin c6, M Swan 4.
At the feeders at least 5 rats under the tables, hopefully there is something in place to limit their numbers. 50+ Greenfinches 8+ Chaffinch 1 Bullfinch. Strange how in the past few years Bullfinch's seemed to be the commonest finch at the feeders but now it's Greenfinch. Hopefully this is a sign numbers are recovering.
