Still 26 Goosanders present including 6 drakes. Also 10 Gadwall, 4 Mute Swans, 9 Little Grebes, c. 55 Coot and a few Teal and Mallard. Near the reed bed 5 Water Rail seen and a Kingfisher. Otherwise very quiet - no sign of the Goldeneye and very few small birds about. Near Home Farm 2 Swallows seen briefly (I wonder if they commute from Chevron refinery?).
