31/21,500, well bracketed old stump and snowdrops

Still one male Pochard amongst the Tufties and the Cetti's (very vocal today) was 'encouraged' to show itself  quite nicely. No sign of any Mallard ducklings so presumably all perished. The refuge held 650 or so Brent, some Common Gulls, a single Curlew, fifteen Pied Wagtails and ten Meadow Pipits which were flushed up from the longer grass nearer the west fenceline. The year is still totally raptorless and the list a paltry 51 species.

Aside from wildlife, first Covid jab in 7 days time. Woo-hoo!!
