Very foggy this morning at Shustoke Reservoir, which was not great for bird spotting, still managed to see the following birds of note though, Coal Tits, Long Tailed Tits, Blue Tits, Great Tits, Greenfinches, Goldfinches, Chaffinches, Pied Wagtail, Robins, a Goosander, Gadwalls, Pochards, Teals, Tufted Ducks and Cormorants. I also saw plenty of Tree Sparrows and Blackbirds, which are always nice to see.

Had a quick 90 minute walk around Plantsbrook this morning, saw a fair amount of birds including Bullfinches, Reed Buntings, Fieldfares, Song Thrushes, Chaffinches, Jays, Robins, Long Tailed Tits, Great Tits, Blue Tits and Tufted Ducks. I've also had few Meadow Pipits passing through the back garden over Christmas, that is when the Pied Wagtails aren't chasing them off, the Song Thrushes and Blackbirds have had a few stand offs as well.
