Floods, and Smew, revisited.......

21 Feb - The flood level on the Upper Thames has apparently gone down by 3 inches, and certainly more green is visible in the fields around Waterhay. At least some of the Smew have moved county, to Glos, and 3 drakes and a redhead were on pit 65 today, a distant record shot of 2 of the drakes as they were at the back of the pit....also a pair of Goosander on pit 29 and a female Sparrowhawk and a Great Spotted Woodpecker there with my first singing Chaffinch of the year.......a Redpoll over pit 65 and 2 drake Goldeneye also there.
