an oddity this morning at the Axbridge gate,a solitary White Goose, !!

Drake scaup again near Cheddar Tower showing well in the sunlight this afternoon. Also 9 goosanders (2 males) towards southern end. Great and 4 little egrets in fields to southwest.

5 Goosander early doors this morning close to the Cheddar Tower,  2 males in said group

RC Pochard, Scaup, and Goosander - all drakes. Didn’t see any Shoveler.

9 shoveler, the usual single male gadwall (& RC pochard) with coot today. Didn’t see the scaup, but was quite rough in southern half. Also a meadow pipit by the cheddar tower with 4+2+3 linnet around the edge & a displaying raven

An adult was reported in the morning, along with the male scaup & RC Pochard

Juvenile kittiwake out from the Cheddar Tower yesterday afternoon

Drake scaup near the Axbridge car park this afternoon. Also drake RC Pochard and a grey wagtail there..

Very few pochard today, but drake red crested was diving for weed near the sailing club. Somebody photographed two female goosander earlier, but I only saw one - flying off towards Brean. Pied wags, meadow pipit & gulls were more interested in the excavation happening on the playing field & one redwing was on far side.

Didn’t see the RC Pochards or any pintail today, but there were 2 pairs of wigeon & 2 female teal amongst the southern coot. A male gadwall by the axbridge tower & unusually, a male shoveler on the side by axbridge entrance (hanging with the mallard). Also a grey wagtail on north edge

Early afternoon 2 male and one very pale female red crested pochard in southwest corner and 4 pintail (2 males) south of Cheddar Tower.

bit murky this morning, [Boxing day] no bins,.. In Middle Moor Lane a tree creeper calling   but other than a Sparrow Hawk being harrasssed by a BH gull ,and the usual inhabitants nothing to attract the close up eye,,, xmas day morning stroll was up the cylce path where there were two Bullfinch calling

Are the RCPs still there? (as 3 have turned up at blagdon)

just a heads up… the reservoir is closed off for pedestrian access TODAY ONLY it’s to do with the restraint of the permissive footpath ... to avoid it becoming a public RoW
