2 f/imm. Goldeneye, 2 Tufted Duck, 38 Pinkfeet over

Mainly overcast, calm, 5°C.  A couple of walks around today revealed nothing new, though the two f/imm. Goldeneye were still present, this time in the SW corner of the lake.  Two drake Tufted Ducks were present near the reserve, but otherwise quiet.

Received a WhatsApp message at around 12:30pm from Simon to say that 38 Pinkfeet were heading W over the Lake.  I dashed to the back window and luckily the birds were in view, so I managed to snatch a quick photo or two through the glass.
