I had my first visit to Collingham Pits this evening since the 11th. Unfortunately there wasn't much to get too excited about; Ferry Lane Farm Pit (where quarrying continues apace) hosted a single Green Sand, whilst on the Main Pit there were 5 Green Sands and 3 Pintail, plus lots of Teal and decent numbers of Wigeon and Shoveler; unfortunately I didn't have time to count them. Mons Pool was a waste of time; water levels were high and there were few birds. Such are the delights of inland gravel pit birding - I might try somewhere different tomorrow...
