Leaving Christchurch we drove north to Ringwood paid a visit to Blashford Lakes. Starting off at Ibsley Water we scanned the water and before long had picked up a couple of Goosanders and several Goldeneye amongst the commoner wildfowl. I also picked out an adult Yellow-legged Gull amongst other large gulls.
We then crossed over to take a look around some of the other areas of the reserve, starting with Ivy Lake...but the hide soon filled with a load of babbling OAPs so we didn't hang about and popped along to the woodland hide. From here we saw loads of common woodland species, and singles of Lesser Redpoll and Siskin. We then retraced our steps back to the car and after a bite to eat headed off west to our next stop.
