Oulton Broad

A dull evening and no wind but also very cold.

Oulton Broad Yacht Station:
PIED WAGATIL heading for roost in great numbers again tonight but not as many as last when I counted to 100+ but they are very noisy. They settled down in the small reed bed but gathered on the pontoons. The sound also of a WATER RAIL squealing like a pig but not seen. Also MOORHEN and as you can see it was taking to high ground to escape predation. Not he best in the world but still of interest. I also had two KINGFISHER which followed each other to roost as well. Only one GREAT BLACK BACKED GULL with HERRING GULLS bathing before heading to sea. Two EGYPYIAN GEESE and two GREAT CREASTED GREBE.
