Wood Brook, Shenley Fields lake, BVT Valley Parkway boating pond 25th Dec 2014 - 14:00
A quick run to look for a grey wagtail on Wood brook and I found one!! Then to my surprise 4 Goosander on the Valley Parkway boating pond - 2m, 2f. Then Shenley Fields lake had 2 Goosander present today - 1m, 1f (great to see some back again this year!!)

4 Goosander present, very busy diving, close to the edge. Surprisingly a heron also present but it soon flew off. Funny how also, all the Canadian geese and mallards rush to the cars that stop, in the hope of food. I forgot to record that there were 2 Goosander on the Valley Parkway boating pond last week.

It was a surprise and very good to see 4 and then a total of 7 Goosander on the lake, they were very busy diving and then swimming away as I got very close to see them in all their glory. Just as much of a surprise was a heron on the island.

The heron was present on the Shenley Fields Lake island both mornings this weekend, so must spend the night here. Also present was a grey wagtail on Saturday. I usually find them on the brook that flows from the lake, found one there today. Also present a short distance away was a Redwing on the grass verge, that didn't seem in a hurry to fly off anywhere.
Bournville Valley Parkway Boating Pond 28th March 2014 - 06.15 morning
I was pleasantly surprised and off to a good start with seven Goosander on the Valley Parkway Boating pond (I had to look a second and third time to make sure). Hope Keith R sees this!! it was a cracking start to a great morning which just got better and better. See my KF post for the same morning.
