Single black-necked grebe still in the centre of the reservoir today and 4 scaup south of Cheddar Tower (2 drakes).  A single male wigeon, female goosander and the male goldeneye still.

Last Tuesday in the freezing conditions, a water rail in the ditch by the ‘new’ entrance was a new Cheddar bird for me.

No sign of RC Pochard, although I know that others saw it at the beginning of the year.
