Grindon Lough – 16th January 2013

Lough almost totally frozen with only a tiny patch of free water, Wigeon 109, Mallard 27, Goldeneye 10, Tufted Duck 5, Comm Gull 128. 3 Ravens arrived at 11.10hrs and were still strutting about on the ice when I left at 11.25hrs. Interestingly no Teal present despite good numbers over past few weeks and only 1 Canada Goose, freezing conditions no doubt the reason.

Good birding all
