CES2 was a bit of a disaster, windy and as cold as winter. To keep warm we flicked three low-flying Common Swifts. Covered in parasites!

Birding was fun with Bill and Frank from SC. We managed all but one of their London area wish list, though Woodlark played hard to get.

Great day trip with Dave from MA – like birding with a mate. 71 of 81 species seen were lifers for him. Best bird? Maybe Northern Lapwing?!

A control Lesser Redpoll came from Hollesley, Suffolk, 131km away. This is the third bird exchanged (LESRE, GRSWO and GREFI). Coincidence?

Great satisfaction in adding (in the snow) Great Sp. Woodpecker, Kingfisher and Lapwing to a winter atlas tetrad. Feral Pig remains elusive.

Spanking male Lesser Redpoll on the feeder, would give any Scarlet Rosefinch a run for its money. Others were a mixed bunch but def no Mealy

On Sunday we caught, and I ringed, our first Ring-necked Parakeet for our site; a fierce bill on a rubber neck, but avoided a trip to A&E!

Back to normal with the duck trap: not a Xmas sausage. Bob's off-road 'one wheel drive' barrow made a big difference to carting the gear!

The duck trap has finally caught something, only a juv Moorhen but it is a start. It will mean pre-dawn walks to set it from now til spring.

All 8 rail traps are now in working condition. Some electronic way to know if they have caught would save a long walk: ‘You’ve got rail!’.

Moved and updated the duck trap for the winter, adding a tunnel entrance to try and foil the Mute Swans from hoovering up the seed bait.
