The Shrike was present this morning at 11.30 on Fenns Moss at SJ 477362 which is the path near the old works which leads to the canal. This is the same area where the bird was present last weekend. It then flew towards the central area of Fenns Moss.
Alongside the canal there is a mixed flock of c200 Lesser Redpoll and Siskin with a few Goldfinch. I would estimate 60:40 in favour of the Redpoll but they are flighty and difficult to guesstimate accurately. Very little else present on either of the mosses one Raven, two Kestrels and small numbers of Fieldfares.
The floods are still mainly frozen, c100 Mallard, c30 Wigeon and c25 Teal on the small patch of open water (Howard Coot)
