Stockers Lake - 23.2.09

An hour around Stockers Lake after work in the hope of RC Pochard and Smew proved fruitless and even a Redshank on Stockers Farm Lake was missing less than 5 minutes after the finder had told me about it in the car park!! The highlights were 6 Goosanders (1 male), a female RN Parakeet and a small flock of Siskin but whilst walking back to the car I heard the Redshank calling as it flew over the lake towards Springwell Lake.
