Upper Boat

Spent an hour at a freezing cold Upper Boat this afternoon, good numbers of thrushes observed going past the football fields with double figures of Mistle Thrush but surprisingly only a single Redwing.Moving down to the river there were twelve Cormorants on the wires and Robins seemed to be everywhere a Buzzard gave brief views as did a flock of foraging Long tailed Tits. Further up the river i got onto a female Goosander a Kingfisher,two Little Grebe and a pair of Dippers which i watched for a while before the cold set in and i couldn't feel my feet, 23 species in total and good to be out after the disappointing birding in Goa 😎☺😉

  1. 23 species that must have taken you about 15 minutes in Goa. Pitta you had to come back to our weather.
