Leath's Ham and Lake Loathingland.

Took the car in to sort out wheel hub bearing. Then walked on through up to Lake Loathingland. Best bird was a KINGFISHER which had taken to hanging around the yacht basin. The bird was very agile and no chance of getting anywhere near it. There where about 10 LITTLE GREBE floating around in small groups of up to 3. Also one REDSHANK with COOTE in the same area. GREENFINCH 4 SONG THRUSH 2 as well as plenty of BLACKBIRDS. A pair of EGYPTIAN GEESE had taken up residence near the toilets to yacht station as well.
At Leathe's there was several PINTAIL and SHOVELORE out on the ice with GADWALL and MALLARD as well as TUFTED DUCK, WIGEON. One KESTREL kept annoying everything. The usual TIT population as well as a flock of 7 GOLDFINCH which seem in short supply this year.
