There were two fine drake goosanders on Drayton Lagoon, this afternoon, with two redheads in close attendance. The redheads are probably females, but young and eclipse males can also look like the females at a distance. The drake and redhead smew are also still present on Swavesey Lake.
Another good showing from the starlings, with 8 to 9,000 coming in to roost. Only one sparrowhawk, but that was enough to take one unlucky victim.
With plenty of ice around, foxes have been seen walking out from the edges of the lakes. Brave souls, as I don't think the ice is particularly thick at the moment.
