Green Woodie checking out Meadowbank
Onward and headed out towards lake through Bath Mill and across fields bit quiet with only a few Black Headed Gulls on Lower Fields and around 50 Wood Pigeons fluttering or swarming from Seven Acre.
The normal Goldcrest in the Cattery garden bouncing all over the place !
Spied 2 Greater Spotted Woodpeckers out through on Church Path and Siskin around 15 on Lower Lake.
On Upper Lake WOW! 21 Goosander - 9 Male + 12 Female
Didn't expect them still to be about, nice ! Teal on Lake up towards bridge

Also Kingfisher not to happy today didn't show his face !
Back out through Village, Redwing group of 20 and home.
