28th January

Non-birding friends wanted to feed the 5 Mute Swans that have turned up in the town, on closer inspection it's a family party with 3 young. Also seen around were 1 Short-toed Treecreeper, 1 White Wagtail, 1 Grey Wagtail, 1 Buzzard, 1 Moorhen and 2 tame Herons, 1 first winter and 1 adult. A domestic Greylag is still hanging around in the same area.
