As I didn’t have too much time I decided to park up and view Aldenham Reservoir from the road outside rather than pay to park and walk half way around. As it turned out I managed good views of just my 2nd ever county Great Northern Diver a nice scaly juvenile fishing in the ice free section.

My original local patch was my next port of call where the flooded fields produce some big numbers of birds (well for there anyway) including 20+ Teal, 40+ Wigeon and a nice drake Tufted Duck. A pair of Raven looked to be nest building but the highlight if you can call it that was a blue morph Snow Goose in with the Canadas!
