Grey & Pied Wagtails, Great Spotted Woodpecker, c.5 Siskin, 3 Goosander, Wigeon, pair Gadwall

Rather dull and cold (2°C) this morning.  Two wagtails, one Grey and one Pied were feeding along the water's edge on Rakewood Road, and a Great Spotted Woodpecker flew overhead.  On the water, there were three Goosander, including two drakes.   Around 5 Siskin were feeding in the tops of the Alders, and a female Wigeon was on the reserve with the Teal.  A little further round, a pair of Gadwall were just off the reserve but partially obscured by the bushes.
