2009-01-02From Paul Stanley Hide at around 1500 hours: Previously reported female Scaup not seen by me. The Common Scoter was still around, being seen most often c.20 metres off the far shore to the left of the island whilst diving a lot. Stunning views-albeit at 60x magnification! One Marsh/Willow Tit briefly seen by the feeders from the hide-I got too brief a look to tell but the chap next to me called it as a Willow Tit. Heard Willow Tit from nearby trees soon afterward. On the feeders were Blue Tit, Great Tit, and a host of Long-Tailed Tits. One Redshank browsing on the waterline just in front of the hide. Many hundreds of wildfowl on water in front, including Pochard, Wigeon, Coot, Tufted Duck. One Moorhen decided to come up to the bank just a few feet in front of the hide before rapidly deciding that it was a bad idea! On island directly in front were c. 20 Cormorant, along with about 50 Black-headed Gull and some Lesser Black-backed Gull. Chris Richards
