Goosander land at Mill Pond

Mill Pond

I haven't visited the north of the patch for quite a while so I had a tour round hoping to try and find any new arrivals. The Fisheries were very quiet except a flock of Canadian Geese and a huge flock of corvids. A number of Lesser Black-backed Gulls flew over before I headed to Mill Pond by Forge Mill Needle Museum.

You can park in the museum car park and stand on the footpath that heads towards Abbeydale. I found 3 Goosander, 1 Grey Heron, 1 Tufted Duck, 20 Mallard, Song Thrush and a Little Grebe to round off a pleasant walk.
