Ducks and waders

At Girton Pits this morning there were 570 Tufted Ducks (including 320 on North Pit, which doesn't normally produce such good numbers), plus 91 Wigeon, 75 Pochard, 13 Goldeneye and small numbers of Gadwall and Teal, as well as 2 Green Sands on Spalford Pit. Also present was a super Peregrine that powered north over the Sailing Lake, and small numbers of Fieldfare, Redwing and Siskin along the Green Lane.

I had time for a very quick look at the Main Pit at Collingham Pits on my way home before my hockey match, which proved to be relatively productive, with single Knot, Dunlin, Green Sand and 2 Redshank, as well as the 1st W/fem Red-crested Pochard and a smart drake Pintail.
