Lynford Arboretum, Norfolk, 23/12/2007

Weather: Foggy, very cold - difficult & gloomy conditions. From 1030pm.

In & around the woods before the lake:
Coal Tit, Robin, Blackbird, Woodpigeon, Blue Tit, Marsh/Willow Tit but impossible to tell through the gloom, Great Spotted Woodpecker, Siskin. The tits & siskins all part of a typical winter feeding party.

On the lake:
Mute Swan, Mallard, Moorhen, a large flock of Canada Goose feeding on the nearby grass.

Disappointingly because of the foggy conditions it was impossible to see the hawfinches in the paddock's trees, but on the way back picked up Mistle Thrush, a group of Great Tit feeding in a low bush, then Carrion Crow.

15 species.
