A non-birding jaunt to Titchfield (after a 'chore run') in fine, still, rather millpond-like conditions. Mild temperatures and lightly overcast with sun trying to break through - every man and his dog out today, some with dogs(!!), cycling, jogging and trying to get rid of those Xmas calories.
Thanks to A.N.Other for a look through his scope at one of the Slav Grebes and pointers to the two redhead Goosanders feeding in shallows just east of the yact club. Later, watching the world go by with M, and a Red-throated Diver went east - I think others were seen earlier - plus a few Great-crested Grebes offshore, fifty or so Turnstones in the harbour and a Little Grebe.
Hopefully a 'proper outing' tomorrow.
