Plenty of wader action along the ice free shoreline today with 13 Grey Plover, 14 Ringed Plover, a single Avocet and a couple of Curlew amongst the usual host of Dunlin and Lapwings. Quiet on the trails as all the pools are almost frozen solid but lots of small birds about including several Stonechats, many Reed Buntings and Goldfinches and even a few hardy Wrens. The Fieldfares are still much in evidence and Chris Packham would be proud of our Fieldfare poo identifictaion skills! .
