Frosty morning.....Smew again

Jan 20 - time for a quick look around this morning before work. At pit 29, 3 drake Smew displaying to 2 redheads, but flighty as usual. Pit 44 held 56 Red-crested Pochards, and finally pit 43 no Smew (for Glos) but a flock of 10 Goosander, a Snipe flushed and a Water Rail calling. In the scrub, 2 Green Woodpeckers, a Jay, 5 Bullfinches and 2 Goldcrests. Atmospheric sun breaking through the cloud, with frost and some iced up puddles and lake edges. A beautiful winter morning, and a flock of 300 + Fieldfares and Redwings flew over the Spine Road as I left.
