More or less the same today.

Couldn't find any Snow Buntings. Very pale hen Harrier at Pyres.Bean Goose was apparently showing but distant views.With memories of the Ibis trek last year I didn't go :D

Smew showing well at Covenham.

Manby - at least 7 Whoopers on the rape field east of lake.

Nice Barn Owl on route to Manby.

Good to have a full day out without the snow.
