Bedfordshire Today.....

In addition to the first-winter PENDULINE TIT at 100 Acre Pit, Meadow Lane, today, I also saw 2 COMMON STONECHATS, 4 Common Snipe and 124 Barnacle Geese there, with a further 325 of the latter in the Willington area.

Lots and lots of Fieldfare and Redwing in the county, with numerous Golden Plover in the Hatch and Broom areas and 7 TREE SPARROWS still in Upper Caldecote. An Oystercatcher was the highlight of a frozen Broom GP, with Stewartby Lake affording good views of COMMON SCOTER (drake), Common Kingfisher and both Common and SIBERIAN CHIFFCHAFF. No less than 19 Chinese Water Deer were at Husborne Crawley.

Wilstone's adult Ross's Snow Goose was at Grovebury at dusk, in with Canada Geese, as well as an adult Yellow-legged Gull.
