24th March..... College Lake.

The day began well as I heard the Mallards flying over, on looking up I spotted a Cormorant higher above them heading east over the garden at 7-05am.
Later a quick visit to College Lake with Stewart produced two nice male Pintails on the marsh, along with 5 Oystercatchers, Redshank, a sprinkling of Snipe, displaying Lapwings & the usual wildfowl. Unfortunately yesterdays Avocet had moved on.
In an eleven meter stretch of ditch we counted at least fifteen Toads. Coltsfoot in bloom.
