1 and 3 Jan - an excellent start to 2008, 94 species so far. New Year's Day comprised a couple of hours in the CWP in the morning - Smew, Cetti's Warbler, Kingfisher, Siskin and Redpoll - and a late afternoon visit to Imber army ranges was successful, giving brief views of a ringtail Hen Harrier, together with 6 Short-eared Owls, both flying and perched, and a Barn Owl.
3 Jan, a cold day with an easterly wind, and an hour at Slimbridge in the morning eventually revealed the Tundra Bean Goose in fields to the left side of the approach road - also a Peregrine, Little Stint and Black-tailed Godwit - together with the expected Whitefronts and Bewick's Swans.
