Overcast, breezy and dull.

The first interesting thing I saw this morning was a Treecreeper that was working its way between trees at the side of the path near the reserve.  I managed to get some not very good photos in poor light, but that's the first one I've seen for quite a while.  Two Coal Tits were in the same general area, as was a Goldcrest.

A single Snipe was on the reserve, and then I didn't see much else until I reached  the far SW corner, where I spotted a distant f/imm. Goosander, the first of the autumn.
