Report from John Rance 30th December 2009

"Had a look round 'the patch' today.

Not a lot to report on PBP- no sign of the Goldeneye, although since yesterday's rain the water is now very muddy and hence probably putting the diving ducks off a bit- only one Tufty for instance.
All usual gulls/waterfowl plus 5 Teal.

Couldn't track down the Ybr Warbler at St Andrew's Lake ( busy with dogs and kids) but 1 Water Rail 'showing well' as they say. Also another calling in the distance, but not seen. Other than that, 1 Willow Tit, 5 Siskin and 1 Treecreeper."

Thanks for the report John.
The Willow Tit and Siskins will be added to the latest Sightings List.
