A pre-work visit between 7.40am and 8.10am started off slowly with just six Wigeon seen feeding on the water's edge near the dam. West Pool still hosted the eight Tufted Duck that were present the night before, and another male Tufted Duck was on the main reservoir.
At the southern end a little bit more interest with what was probably a second Chiffchaff in territory near the hide, some distance from the bird that was singing last night. Both Green and Great Spotted Woodpeckers were heard calling.
In the horse paddock opposite the pull-in south of the hide, a couple of late Redwings and a Fieldfare were feeding, and then a real surprise, a male Ring Ouzel joined them on the ground and spent a good five minutes or so feeding with the other thrushes.
