After recovring from a hangover, and then hauling myself away from the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix on TV, I finally made it out to Collingham Pits this afternoon. There were at least 2 Green Sands and 2 Redshank present, plus the Red-crested Pochard still on the Main Pit. A big flock of Fieldfare, around 300, was making quite a racket in the ash trees next to the Silt Lagoon, a great sight on a murky November afternoon.
Mons Pool held good numbers of ducks, including 94 Gadwall, plus 5 Snipe, and single Redshank and Little Egret. The walk back to the car was brightened up by quite a few groups of Starlings swooshing overhead, no doubt on their way to Langford to roost in the reedbed.
