An immaculate drake pintail was hanging around the eastern reedbed this morning, also a peak count so far this winter of goldeneye, with 32 including 12 drakes. Pochard numbers remain in the region of 15 birds. Also today, an immature whooper swan was flying around the flash, but was presumably not the very sick bird from a week ago which is thought to have died.
The gull roost hasn't produced much in the past few days, though there have been up to 66 great black-backed gulls present and around 2500 herring gulls.
