8 Gadwall, 4 Shoveler, 4 Goldeneye, 2 Oystercatchers, 1 Curlew, 104 Lapwings and alot of C.Snipe off the west bank at dusk. Two different Mediterranean Gulls with an adult present around midday and a first-winter in the roost. A Chiffchaff was seen in Alders Wood, more likely a wintering bird than a migrant but still the first of the year and the male Brambling on the hide feeders
