Two Pond Day

Too dull to consider carrying a camera.

To start, a Cettis and two Chiffchaffs plus just half a dozen Shoveler.
Sadly, far fewer gulls than yesterday with the loss of ice and none of yesterday's metal-ringed BHGs out of the water. Must be time to get a colour ringed bird here.

At PHP Shovelers down to four and Pochards up to ten (all males) plus 125+ Common Gulls and the first LBBG this winter. Coal Tits by the cafe and amongst the east side tit flock, a single Grey Wagtail plus another Firecrest, looking like a female in the same place as last week.

A quick chat with the Raynor's and a few Redwings 'seep'ing overhead.
