I was able to get down to Longham Lakes and take a few photos though. It was a pretty disappointing set of pictures though due to the general dullness of the day.
I saw plenty of birds though including Long-Tailed Tits, Blue Tits, Goldcrest, Pochard, Shoveler, Mallard, Scaup, Tufted Duck, Canada Geese, Mute Swan, Greylag Geese, Blackbird, Great Created Grebe, Little Grebe, Black-Headed Gull, Herring Gull, Great Black Backed Gull, Coot, Moorhen, Cormorant, Kestrel, Little Egret, Carrion Crow, Rook, Jackdaw and Magpie, so not a bad selection all in. I was hoping there might have been some special geese in amongst the Greylag and Canada Geese but no luck (although they were quite a way off).
Surprisingly, I didn't see too many Mallard today.
There were far less Pochard too.
The Scaup was a little further out today, hanging out with Tufted Ducks.
This is the closest I could get to a Great Crested Grebe, the Little Grebes were right in the centre of the Lake, so were pointless taking shots of.
Canada Goose and Mute Swan.
Canada Goose with Mallards.
An unknown gull. Herring Gull?
Canada Geese flyby.
Little Egret in a distant field.
Some very distant Greylag and Canada Geese.
