This weekend was the monthly WeBS count down at Linacre. I was down for two hours on Sunday morning, and walked around all three reservoirs.
The waterbirds counted were: 74 Mallard, 108 Tufted Duck, 50 Mandarin Duck, 10 Moorhens, 14 Coots, 5 Grey Wagtails (including the first singing male of the year), 1 Little Grebe, 1 Great-crested Grebe, 1 Cormorant, 5 Canada Geese, 2 Goosander (both females), 1 Lesser Black-backed Gull and 40 Black-headed Gulls.
The woodland birds were in full song, but, unfortunately, no summer migrants...yet! These beautiful daffodils were also out in full bloom.
