A cold and misty day at the flash

Or to be more precise, an icy cold, dull and misty day at the flash, but it certainly produced the goods. I flushed a jack snipe at the Slag lane end in one of the few open bits of water and this was a flash first for me. Also at that end a pair of pintail and about 17 goosander. A winter record count of 36 goldeneye were scattered across the water and a little egret flew over.

In the evening gull roost, the 2nd winter Caspian gull was back, as well as an adult Mediterranean gull.
