Green Woodpecker, 57 Common Gulls, 8 Goosander

The cold weather continues; yesterday it was 1°C, today -1°C, with snow showers yesterday.  A single Snipe and three Gadwall again were yesterday's highlights in the snow.  Today a Green Woodpecker flew over the reserve, and I counted 57 Common Gulls feeding in the field just off Rakewood Road in Ealees Valley.  Not much on the water, but as I was leaving, a group of 7 (all female) Goosanders flew in.  No photos for a couple of days.
