There are several flocks of Long-tailed Tits roaming around the park, check them thoroughly for Firecrests.
Two Lapwings thought about dropping in at 10.35am, before departing to the north.
This B H Gull was seen last winter and can only lift his wings to the horizontal making it look very odd in flight.
Two Great crested Grebes are present
Mandarins are showing very well, with over seventy coming to the duck rearing pond in area 1 just after first light. Please forgive the grainy clips, but it is quite an interesting event
Shoveler numbers have increased to 45.
A drake European Wigeon was a new arrival, but not liked by the Mallards.
Five Common Teal were present in areas 1 and 35
Twenty-four Gadwall are now present
A Mallard drops in.

I had an adult BH Gull over SNR in January which had the same affliction, and looked bizarre.... same bird, or a particular problem?
