20 Dec - An early trip to Pit 82 where a Great Northern Diver was found yesterday ......... very nice views in the early morning sunlight, it came fairly close, fishing and preening, as I sat on the water's edge. Also a Kingfisher, a pair of Stonechats, Goldeneye and a small party of the declining Pochard. Cleveland lakes held the usual Great White and Little Egrets, but the highlight was a calling Bearded Tit that I heard twice in the reedbed near the old hide - it called twice, but unfortunately I didn't see it despite waiting for a half hour. A return visit is definitely in order. Water Rail and Chiffchaffs also in the reeds here.
