Spring pond

Curlew, Snipe, 2 Oystercatcher, Shoveler male, 5 Gadwall,12 Goldeneye and 3 Meadow Pipit was all we could manage at the pond in an hour off farborough bank first thing so missed the Dark-bellied Brent Goose and Merlin that were found later. Napton on the Hill had Lesser Redpoll and the odd flocks of Fieldfare and Redwing still in the valley.
