There was only one small piece of open water at Bainton Pits this morning. There were 8 goosander there (four male) and a further pair on the Cut itself. Also a female red-crested pochard.
There was also a flock of at least 80 lesser redpoll feeding in birch near the main entrance. This is the largest flock of redpoll I have seen in the area by some margin and comes after a series of local sightings in recent years – any chance they are on the increase?
