Just as the heavens opened this afternoon I managed to find two scaup at the west end, best seen from Mossley Hall farm. The left hand bird looks like a young male to me, whilst the right hand bird is probably an adult female, based largely on the bright yellow eye. Also
today, 10 goldeneye and six pochard including five drakes.
Before the rain!
Two days ago in persistent drizzle there were around 100 fieldfare and 50
redwings at the western end. I wondered if they might have been passing over
and dropped down when the rain started, because I haven't seen them before or
after.
