Fowlmere and Amwell

Another Peregrine at Amwell! Distant, but appeared to be adult (perhaps yesterday’s other bird?) Went to Amwell mid-afternoon (Buzzard at Buckland en-route) where the pit was mostly frozen. The following birds were seen:

Shelduck
Red-crested Pochard
x 3.
Smew – male and two Redheads.
Yellow-legged Gull – adult.
Little Egret x 13.
Bittern x 2?

A Barn Owl was seen just outside Fowlmere village on the way home.
