There is still very little to blog about at the pits I'm afraid. The water levels have receded some what but it's still very wet. Only one of our normal islands is visible. We are hoping the deeper water on the main pit and Pophills might attract a diver or duck to get excited about.

What you can enjoy at the moment is the abundance of winter thrushes, you can't miss them there are that many especially around the orchards where they are feeding on the fallen autumn fruit.

Other highlights from the weekend were 2 Wigeon, 4 Lapwing, 5 Gadwall, 35 Greylag, 20 Canada, 4 Herring & 1 LBBG, 4 Buzzard, 2 Pied Wagtail, 1 Water Rail, 1 Pochard (Pophills), 15 Yellowhammer & 2 Shoveler at Kingley.
