A cold sunny afternoon with a temperature of 2°C with 40% of the Tarn frozen over, but still plenty of birds. There were c50 Canadas, c100 BH Gulls along with Common, LBB and Herring Gulls. The male Pintail and Wigeon were still present and I also spotted a Teal, others were Jackdaw, Rook, Starlings and Coot.

A sunny start with a temperature of 4°C, as I pulled up at Lister Park I could see a Treecreeper so I had to get ready and set my camera up quickly to get a picture. Down on the Lake there were four Goosanders, Tufteds, BH Gulls, Herring Gulls and Canadas were grazing on the grass. Others seen in the park were Mistle Thrush, Coal Tit, Nuthatch, LT Tit, Goldfinch and Redwing.

A sunny morning with a temperature of 9°C and I was off to Harold Park to see if the reported G.W. E. was still around. Fortunately it was and so I got my first Great White Egret at one of my local sites, also four Goosanders and three Wigeon. Other birds included Pochard, G.C. Grebe, Mute Swans, BH Gulls, LBB Gull and Herring Gull.

Some sun this afternoon with a temperature of 8°C, so a walk on to Hewenden Reservoir was in order where I was rewarded with a Gadwall for the first time at this location. Also here were a pair of Goldeneye, Wigeon, Teal, Tufteds, Cormorants, Canadas, Moorhen, Mute Swan, BH Gulls and Herring Gull. Walking back home the afternoon was rounded off with two male Pheasants.
