This morning I went to look for the FALCATED DUCK on the pond at the Countess Wear sewage works & after looking for over an hour all I got was a very very brief view of the bird before it vanished from view again , also at the site was this GADWALL , a GREAT SPOTTED WOODPECKER & a CHIFFCHAFF .
Then a quick look at the River Side Country Park got me this CORMORANT & 7 COMMON SNIPE & at the Matford Pools there were 200+ LAPWING & a mixed flock of FIELDFARE & REDWING
