Sunday 27th October a.m.
A chilly start at Swillington with a temperature of 3° C but the sun was out and things soon warmed up. A digger was doing work on Astley Lake which reduced the number of birds but still saw Cormorant, Shoveler, Little Egret, Teal and Tufteds. The reed beds produced an excellent view of a Bittern along with Black-tailed Godwit, Dunlin, Gadwall, Pintail, Pochard, Gt White Egret, Lapwing, Gt Crested Grebe and Snipe. Others included Kestrel, Cetti's Warbler, Canadas, Greylags, Grey Heron, Pied Wagtail and Mute Swan.
