Amwell visit 24.02.12

A pleasant wander around Amwell N.R. this morning with over 40 species recorded, although nothing new on the year list. Good birds everywhere, including large numbers of shoveler, cormorant, grey heron and lapwing. A pair of bullfinches showed well ( 2 photos of the male) and a total of 6 goldeneye. Photos, from the top:
Robin, bullfinch (x2) robin, shoveler in flight, cormorant in flight, a pair of mute swans and a hybrid goose (maybe greylag x canada goose)
