Radley Lakes Saturday 18th December


A quick trip to Radley before the snow set in (or so I thought); in the end visibility quite poor on Thrupp Lake and most birds look the same when sat huddled together and covered in snow! But managed to get the following:
1 Bewick's swan (flew off with 10 Mutes)
34 Mute swan
c.900 Teal
c.440 Coot
c.30 Tufted ducks
3 Canada geese
1 Common gull
1 Grey heron
1 Great crested grebe
Plus uncounted Shovelers, Pochard, Mallard, Gadwall and Moorhen

PM
Bewick's swan back again before sunset
also: two male Pintail
c.25 Gadwall
c.10 Pochard
c.10 Lapwing
3 Wigeon
