An early morning rain shower onto frozen ground made conditions treacherous this morning particularly on the minor roads. However we managed to get to Shuart without incident and walked out to Plumpudding lagoon. We saw 2 Green Woodpeckers, 3 Ring-necked Parakeets, 1 Kestrel, 2 Grey Herons, 54 Lapwings, 300 Dark-bellied Brent Geese, 270 Oystercatchers, 6 Redshank, 18 Turnstones, 6 Ringed Plovers, 13 Cormorants, 1 Sanderling, 4 Corn Buntings, 18 Grey Plovers, 106 Dunlin, 1 Curlew, 14 Golden Plovers, 2 Little Grebes, 1 Stonechat and 3 Marsh Harriers.
