I set out around 7am for a walk to the Mill Lakes via the Pit Tip. I couldn't hang around long today as we'd planned a family afternoon at Clumber Park. There were a small group of
Fieldfare at Dawson's Corner and I got a patch tick in the form of a
Song Thrush. Of note at the Mill Lakes were small numbers of the scarcer ducks: a single
Gadwall, three
Teal, and two
Pochard; a single
Little Grebe and two
Great Crested Grebe (one juvenile). I caught a glimpse of the
Kingfisher, and a single male
Bullfinch was feeding on the berries in a tree top along the Back Ride.
On the way home I caught a glimpse of a
Blackbird with white secondaries on one wing, before it vanished into one of the gardens in Rise Park. A total of 31 species was pretty good going considering I didn't have too much time. I also got some of my first reasonable footage of
Fieldfare,
Gadwall and
Bullfinch.
