Main Reservoir very quite 1 solitary Comorant along with 6 Great Crested Grebe in full winter plumage. Along far bank were 7 Grey Heron, with 200+ Canada Geese grazing in field next to footbridge, also large flocks of various Gull ie HG, BHG, 1 Solitary GBBG.
On the small pool on the Left handside of walkway were Greylag Geese x 300+,Wigeon x 100, Goldeneye x 2 (pair), along with usual waterfowl.
Along the main walkway itself were Redwing x 20, Mistle Thrush x 1, Bullfinch x 2 (Male), Willow Tit x 1, Coal Tit x 4.
Pleased to see more edge  cleared of walkway  with seating for easier viewing of both areas.
