Wigan Flashes Field Trip
Don't forget tomorrow's field trip (will probably be frozen over, but there should be some open water with all the wildfowl concentrated into a small area). Meet at the venue at 9.00 am as details on Field Trip Board.

Yes, we had good views of the redhead Smew on Scotman's Flash. Thanks to Judith Smith and Ken Linkman for pointing us in the right direction.
Most of the flashes were frozen, but Scotman's had a large expanse of open water and Horrock's had a strip of ice free water. Other birds seen included Goosander, Goldeneye, Gadwall, Tufted, Pochard, Teal, continental race Cormorant, Willow Tit and Bullfinch. We also heard a Water Rail.
