Sometimes you just have to sneak in a quick bit of birding when you can...booked in to see the Tinkerbell movie at Kids Club in Aylesbury this morning so went to the dump early to take garden waste for composting...pair of red-legged partridges near entrance to recycling centre - and then a quick detour to scan Wilstone reservoir from the car park. Lovely, still, mild morning with the birds concentrated in the watery bits of a still largely frozen reservoir. Today's birds...red-legged partridge, little grebe, great crested grebe, pochard, wigeon, cormorant, coot, stock dove, grey wagtail, fieldfare, mallard. A brief trip up to Whipsnade - our annual New Year's day visit to the zoo yielded pied wagtail, lapwing, herring gull, lesser black-backed gull and a single teal on the pool in the deer enclosure. Was very misty though so probably missed a lot! Caught up with sleep at the film...must be getting old!
