Very quiet at Oulton Marshes

On Wednesday 16 December, an afternoon trip to Fisher Row revealed very little, no sign of the EWFG flock, I did see around 20 Canada & a Greylag/ Snow Goose hybrid on Camps Heath marshes, a trek around the very muddy river path revealed Kestrel and a Grey Heron flying off from a dyke, plus 2 Meadow Pipits in a flooded field by the track. Absolutely nothing at all on Oulton Marshes no birds at all. In contrast, Peto's Marsh over the river was packed with birds with Wigeon, Teal, Cormorants, 2 Little Egrets and the red- tagged female Marsh Harrier flying over.
