For the final week-end of the BTO Winter Atlas I started by finishing 3 TTVs in the Holbeach area. 41 species in total with the only new record for the 10km square being Grey Partridge. I had a bit of time left so moved South to TF31 where Long-tailed Tit and Meadow Pipit are still missing. Of course you never find what you're looking for but I did find 5 Goosanders, new for the square.
Today I took a short walk in my own square, TF12, not expecting anything new, but at the reservoir in Dunsby I found 6 more Goosanders (all fem types), and new bird 99 for the square - a female Shelduck.
