Another bitterly cold day, but with a result as the two Ring-necked Ducks that were located further up the Piddle Valley a few weeks ago have relocated to Swineham GP. These are the first since 2008 and it’s good that they’ve been relocated since Trevor Warwick found one on the smaller pit at Swineham earlier in the week. A Jack Snipe was also flushed off the end of Swineham Point. At Organford, the Golden Plover flock was still present with at least c15 still there. At Jerry’s Point there were 2 Long-tailed Duck, 4 Slavonian Grebe and on Littlesea the Great White Egret was present still. Holes Bay saw a Spotted Redshank and the mouth of the drain with up to 3 Kingfisher present in the area too. The PCW Drain logged the Siberian Chiffchaff, 1 Firecrest and 1 Kingfisher.
