Hello
Jacob reported that Pitsford Reservoir seemed quiet today but he still found a third year Caspian Gull, a Great White Egret, a Shelduck, eight Pintails, two Redshank, a Green Sandpiper, a Raven and a Grey Wagtail. Eric Graham visited the Titchmarsh Reserve today and saw a Great White Egret there too plus a Redpoll.
I spent some of today topping up bird feeders in anticipation of the severe frost tonight and snow during the early hours of tomorrow. Whilst doing so I heard a Hawfinch calling at Scotland Wood (Kelmarsh Estate) and saw a Siskin and a Woodcock there. Nearby there was a flock of at least twenty Siskins at Kelmarsh Hall.
Regards
Neil M

| Great White Egret. Freezing temperatures and ice may well displace our wintering GWEs onto streams and brooks... |

| Male Siskin on a nyger feeder. These small finches can turn up on garden feeders at any time of the year but the late winter/early spring is the period when they flock to feeding stations. |
