A morning visit to the Mill Lakes before work produced a family party of
Mute Swan at the north end of the lake, with two adults and four juveniles. At least some of the geese had returned, but these were just singles and couples of
Canada Goose, numbering nine in total. At least one
Common Snipe was hiding on Mud Island, and singles of
Common Gull and
Lesser Black-backed Gull were over the water.
A single
Willow Tit was on the Leen Pastures Feeding Station, which was dominated by eight or so
Chaffinch. A finch flock of around 50-70 birds was seen briefly flying towards the lake from the trees around the feeding station, and I followed in search of what were probably Siskin. Back down the far side of the lake, I connected
with the confirmed
Siskin flock of 50+ birds feeding in some birch at the water's edge. Below them, I also got some nice footage of a
Wren.
