Ashwell and Amwell

With Sam having a football match at Ashwell, I dropped him off early and drove around the area looking for birds. Seven Buzzards seen, with six in the air together.

Late afternoon with Tom, I went to Amwell, seeing three more Buzzards on the way. Amwell was quiet, but did have eight Smew (including two drakes), several Goldeneye, and four Little Egrets. I also had tantalising views of what were probably the two Ravens returning to their roost. A would-be Amwell tick.
