Not many ducks around....a few Tufted.....Mallards.....a Mandarin went by....the usual 12 Shovellers.....a single female Goldeneye on Middle Pit....

Other than that a few Great Spots knocking away....a Nuthatch near the main gate.....the paddocks heald their usual array of Blackbirds, Song Thrush, Goldfinch, Starlings and a Greenfinch was there too....

Near the car a pair of Mistle Thrush was great to see and its been a good area for them over the years....
