Wilthorpe Marsh 21/12/14.

Very steady. A pair of Chiffchaffs showed well with one singing briefly in hawthorns on the river just north of the sewage farm + 2 Goldcrests. A pair of Buzzards again over Standhill Wood and a constant steady movement of Herring Gulls going west. Probably due to the mild weather a notable downturn in numbers of Redwings and Woodpigeon and no Snipe at all in the central marsh. No sign of any Egrets today.
