Benacre Broad.

One of those days just before Christmas. Dull. Birding however was reasonable son worth the walk. Small stuff behind church was BRAMBLING, GREENFINCH, SKYLARK, CHAFFINCH. Altogether there was 7 JAYS that put in an appearance and a single REDWING on walk to the cliff. At the cliff several RED-THROATED-DIVERS about 10 in all with a few fly bi's. A SPARROW HAWK flew past me and headed south low along the cliff. A single PIED WAG at foot of cliff and HERRING GULL. The feral flock of GREY LAG flew by to the west with the odd looking white bird amongst them. At the broad  7 SCAUP and 10 GOLDENEYE . Only a few TEAL and GADWALL. I also had fly in a pair off PINTAIL. The only other bird of any significance was an adult MED GULL. On way back a really black PHEASANT.
