Deep snow continues its grip on the South East

Still two GREAT NORTHERN DIVERS on Brogborough Lake this afternoon. However there seems to have been a clearout of other ducks here with no Scaups or Red-crested Pochards, and much reduced numbers of Pochards.The only other slightly notable bird I saw today was a female Pintail on Stewartby lake, presumably the bird from Rookery?

In the roost at Stewartby there was around 2,500 Common Gulls, well up on recent weeks (Steve Blain)
