A little bit of birding

Birding was fairly minimal this weekend; today was spent doing voluntary conservation work, and I only managed a late afternoon thrash round Collingham Pits yesterday (with hockey taking up most of the day). It was actually quite a productive visit, with 8 Whooper Swans (7 adults and a juv), 6 Pintail and a Green Sand  on Ferry Lane Lake, an Oysercatcher on the Silt Lagoon, and a pair of Egyptian Geese on Mons Pool; I stood at the screen here as the sun set, recording 6 Little Egrets flying into roost and enjoyed the corvid roost, almost deafened by the noise of the Jackdaws.
