With this northerly air flow things have gone a little quiet.
Water Rail: What looks like a female has once again returned to the rail ditch, for its third winter.
Meadow Pipit: One east mid morning.
Grey Wagtail: At least three birds are present in the park, spending a lot of time in the Leaf Yard, area 41.
Lesser Redpoll: One flew north.
Siskin: A party of four flew west.
Goldfinch: Eighteen flew east am and a small charm fed in the Wetland Pen, area 32 this afternoon.
The short tail and short thick looking bill, make me think that this is a female. The photo below shows the difference in size between the rail and a Moorhen

I wouldn't mind getting a shot of a Lesser Spot one day. They haven't been a regular in the park since the early 1990's.
