Wintersett - Mud, Ducks and Gulls 20.01.20

A frosty start, 0 - 5 degrees with 0/8 cloud and a light westerly wind.
A great atmosphere today when lots of visitors came to see our star birds.
It is extremely muddy on the east bank of Wintersett Res.  Wellingtons highly recommended!
Wintersett Res: The adult female Long-tailed Duck was showing close off the east bank.
