I was surprised just how high the water levels were. Yes we've had quite a bit of rain but I didn't think that much!
Now the swimming along in front of the cafe? 2 female Goosander! and I had a compact!
From here there was a Kingfisher! Nice!
I wandered up to the lake/pond.... lots of common ducks (Mallards, Gadwall and Shoveler) but in the trees running around it there were lots of goldfinches and amongst them? A siskin! there MAY have been Redpoll but the light was rubbish so no can count!
It was grey and starting to rain so I headed back to the tea room for a coffee and a very fine Mince Pie scone.
I headed home and the sun came out!!! I'm not moaning it was a decent stroll with some good birds.

A lovely place to walk and well done on the Goosander and Siskin. I really must get out birding more next year. It seems to have been a year when I have concentrated on church crawling and EH and NT places rather than nature reserves.
