Utch 29/1/10 1350-1550.


Managed a bonus visit to Utch this a'noon after cadgin' a lift with former World Pipe Smokin' Champion George Bowker and his canine companion Tufty! Cheers pa.

It was cold and sunny when i got there with a bitter north wind blowin' off the Weaver Hills. Highlights were a single Little Egret and a record count of 58 Cormorants.

A blizzard at around half three finally put paid to any chance of a crack at the Goosander roost so i headed off to catch the bus in nearby Spath.

Little Egret 1
Cormorant 58
Goosander 14
Pintail 1
Gadwall 5
Wigeon c210
Teal c50
Mallard 200
Tufty 50

Off to the pub now so that's all folks.
