Amwell a.m.

A pleasant wander on a foggy morning around Amwell NR. Not too much on offer that was out of the ordinary, but 100+ siskins with a few lesser redpolls were good to watch. (Photos 1,2 and 3) a pheasant, magpie and water rail were at the viewing point, but the highlight was a passing through chiffchaff. Too fast for a photo. On the water all the regulars: mute swan, tufties, coot, g c grebe, gadwall, teal, mallard, shoveler, pochard, cormorant and several goldeneye, including this flyover drake. Other photos, general views and a feeding goldfinch that was mixing with the siskins.
