A quick visit to Amwell Reserve around midday was interesting, with a good selection of the expected birds noted. A female red crested pochard was seen on Tumbling Bay, with coot, moorhen, tufted duck and great crested and little grebes.
From the viewpoint: teal, shoveler, gadwall, mallard along with several species of gull, grey heron, greylag and canada geese.
A grey wagtail was also noted whilst cetti's warbler was heard. Overhead, mute swans, common buzzard and a red kite towards Wareside.
A drive towards Stansted Abbots meant I managed a few photos of the showy little owl that has taken up winter residence between the chimneys of house again.
