SISKINS AT LIDEN LAGOON

A bright and sunny morning for my walk around Liden Lagoon
I'd only walked a few yards from the car when I spotted a flock of siskins feeding in the alders, their colours standing out well against the blue sky.  On the lake were plenty of blackheaded gulls as well as the usual mallards, tufted ducks, coots and moorhens. Also a number of Canada geese feeding on the grass, and the swan family. Also saw long tailed tit, tree creepers, chaffinch, blue tit and dunnock. A few photos from today are below.
