Slow thaw but still a bit parky. Three flocks of Wigeon totalling 470 birds going south are presumably birds relocating following the end of the cold snap. Also on the move 6 Great-crested Grebes south (plus 1 offshore), 3 Red-throated Divers & a Common Scoter. 2 Woodcock & 6 Mipits on site with the other refugees from the snow seemingly having moved on to pastures new. 2 Sanderling & a Grey Plover still along the riverbank conclude this mornings interest.
