Yes 1 or 2 Pintail were notable at this time of year particularly If cold. A drake bird was the most frequent and was quite approachable (I reckon an escaped bird)  I know the lake well and it struggled to maintain flows as there was a graval bar but understand that this was cleared to help flow rates. If it is still clear of ice then it is always a lake (Pond)that is bound to produce. particularly if watermeads is iced. Saw the pics of the Coot thats amazing. Did This/these bird(s) occur before or after the well documented polution incident 3 or 4 years ago?

Let me know how you get on I am hoping to give this sites a good working over this Friday - Saturday

PS best bird(s) I ever had from Ravs were 3 Scaup

Yes if you report your sightings on the BTO setup Birdtracker or Roving rrecords anybody can contribute sifgting and additionally they go straight to the respective county recorders so kills two birds with one stone so to speak.

Definatly let me know how you get on - Its Snowing hard here in Essex at the moment so there are bound to be movements into London.
