Report from Roger Lane. (20th January 2010)

"So glad you enjoyed the Slimbridge/Chew visit ! I did the usual circuit today (20thJan), but it was a question of the 'same old stuff' !
At Porthpean it was calm but almost barren with 20+, Fulmars; 1 x Comm.Scoter; 3 x GNDivers and 1 x B.T.Diver. At Pontsmill ata private household feeding station were an incredible number of titmice, approx 10+, Bluetits; c.20 x Greatits; 20+, Coaltits and 20+, LTTits (moving through)! Opposire Kilmarth there was nothing UNTIL that Kestrel came along and put up: 20+, Chaffinch; 50+, Redwings; 40+ Fieldfares and 3+ M.Thrush ! At Menabilly Barton very little except 100+, Redwings and 1 x G.S.W'Pecker ! Finally, at Par Pond 15+ Tufted D; 1 x Comm.Gull and 1 x M.Thrush, still, opp. the Ship Inn (4pm) !"

Thanks for the report Roger.
