A slow thaw

Even though temperatures have risen, most lakes remain frozen. The small patches of free water do concentrate the wildfowl though and two Goosanders have been frequenting Bellasis Hall over the cold snap.

Yesterday, a mooch around Saltholme produced some quality, with Long-eared Owl, Green Woodpecker and an adult Yellow-legged Gull providing the entertainment.

Dormans Pool today added Cetti's Warbler and Water Rail, so the year's list is gaining momentum!
