In addition to the birds reported in various messages, I saw a female Green Woodpecker on the 'old tip' on Tuesday pm.  Having got extremely wet on Tuesday am. So wet I had to go home and dry out.  Apologise for this late report.

Chorlton WP 7th Jan 08.30 - 09.30


1st wtr drake Scaup, 96 Pochard, 60 Tufted, 9 Goosander, 12 Goldeneye, 1 Little Grebe, 6 Cormorant, Sparrowhawk.


Tony, the Scaup is practically always been loafing with the Tufties either infront of or between the south and south-west compounds, showing well in the mornings. Only once it arrived late, about 09.30 with a flock of Pochard. It does get close under trees in windy conditions and I've also seen it under the branches of the west island among Pochard in the afternoon.


good luck

Just dropped my Xmas tree off.


4 Goldeneye, 6 Goosander, 4 Redpolls with Goldfinch flock - still no Scaup. I'm guessing it's asleep somewhere whenever I turn up :(

Where does the Scaup hang out ? With the Tufties, or the Pochard, or is he a loner skulking under the trees ?

Cheers Tony, it's nice to get more contributions from regular birders. Pity you missed the Scaup as he's looking better every day !.

I wish the Islay self founds (2 Richardson's, Iceland Gull & Little Gull) would count in the 2007 tournament!

Still need Pied Wagtail for the year. And leucistic Red-crested Pochard which is allegedly at Wigan but miraculously decided to vanish on NYD... grrr... . Smew was a nice jam-in though.
