I got 52 as well as a maximum, here's a few of them. Agreed wonderful day!

Mike

Nice one Mike - will we be seeing you on the work party tomorrow?

Whilst the vast majority of birds were around Webbs and the overflow car park, a quick trot around the Education Reserve to check that the Goosanders were just Goosanders encountered a couple of Waxwings at the rear of the garage on the crab apple tree and adjacent bushes, so the total may actually be greater even than 52 (which in itself was a new reserve record).

Just a couple - and another - from today - Dunnock & Kingfisher from the new hide at the Moors and one of the waxwings that have appeared in the vicinity! Great company in the hide today - thanks lads!

Lou

Good to meet you today Lou, and lovely pics. Didn't you get a shot of Ratty?

sadly can't make it tomorrow as I've been drafted in to work our 'Open Day' for prospective students. Also the knee's playing up though hopefully that will be fixed soon enough as I'm having it operated on next Friday - at least I'll get a few days off!
