20 Tufted Ducks, several Goosander, 2 f/imm Goldeneye, 6-7 Bullfinch

Overnight frost, -1°C, clear & sunny.  Just a morning trip today.  The 2 Goldeneye still present, and now 20 Tufted Ducks; 3 on the reserve and 17 just off the pavilion spit.  About 6 or 7 Bullfinch were by the stone bridge over the small stream by the Willow patch.

A flock of Lapwings were flying around in the early morning sunshine, and a Pied Wagtail landed next to me near the cafe, but was in the shade.
