CWP and Blakehill


3 Jan - a sunny, frosty winter morning - an early look at the CWP produced 7 Smew (1 drake, 6 redheads)on pit 41 together with 14 Goldeneye - and a scattering of Goosander on several pits in the area.
A walk at Blakehill later in the morning was also productive - 7 Golden Plover flew over going west with c70 Lapwings, and 7 Snipe in total were seen. No raptors, but good numbers of winter thrushes, also a very cold-looking Stonechat by the cattle feeders.
