Fowlmere

Early morning at Fowlmere searching for the recent Little Egret and the Mealy Redpoll. Succeeded with the first, but failed with the second. A single Redpoll was heard (and maybe seen), but that was as close as it got. The immature Mute Swan that stayed on whatever water was ice-free during the cold snap, was unfortunately found dead.

Also saw a Carrion Crow without a tail doing a wobbly impression of a Bateleur!
