Below are the results from the WeBS count on Monday 25th November. There is a notable rise in wigeon compared to two weeks ago, from 274 to 1021. There were a couple of large flocks of lapwing and some small snipe flocks. My first pintail of the winter, a dapper looking drake on the reedbed, was hanging out with the mallard. I always enjoy watching pintail, they are just so elegant and their plumage is exquisite.
