Dipper, Gadwall, Kingfisher, Snipe

Overcast conditions, 7°C.

A Dipper was the first interesting thing seen this morning, from the stone bridge, looking downstream.  It was always a bit distant, perching on some fallen logs just by the bend, eventually moving out of view.

The drake Gadwall was still present, visible from the hide, and the Kingfisher showed briefly.  A single Snipe was also present.

Yesterday was fairly quiet, with just c.25 Redwings over, but the first Coot for some time.
