Amwell Visit

A morning trip to Amwell today to get the year list underway. Highlight birds were lesser redpoll and marsh tit, both seen at the feeders on the footpath at Hollycross Lake. Usual suspects were noted including a few wigeon and pochard, snipe and a little egret.
A pleasant, if chilly wander in poor light. No sign of the unusual gulls that have been present of late (yellow legged and caspian) nor the smew that has been knocking around since November.
